Pentaho Meeting 2009 @ Barcelona

Finally started working today, after arriving from Barcelona, where i attended the Pentaho Community Meeting 2009. Gotta say i was surprised by the amount of people i met there (and, unfortunately, didn't had the chance to chat with all of them), from almost every corner of the world.

Being this my first experience with an opensource community, i was able to actually get to know 'the faces behind the nicknames', and it was amazing to see how opensource software like Pentaho can gather so many passionate people.

New ideas arose from that meeting, and perhaps a new personal project for me: now, all i need to do is investigate, learn, code and geek around Pentaho and its tools to see its viability, as well as to continue listening to the valuable comments from the community members (from which i've already learned so much).

Looking forward to see you all next year, and kudos to Tom Barber for making it all happen.
