Ack! Yes it's been a while since Drupalcon ended and I'm only now doing a wrap-up. Impressions:

• Drupalcon has a much different vibe from the other Drupal-related events I've attended. It's more community-oriented, emphasizing the "we're all in this together" aspect of Drupal
• The Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are more important than the regular sessions. The regular ones are great, but if you have to skip one, you can always catch the video later online. BoFs are not recorded. And the BoFs are where you can actually talk and have a conversation with other folks, rather than sitting passively and maybe raising your hand at the end for a question. BoFs rule
• Drink beer. I didn't and I should have. Since Drupalcon was local, I just went home after the sessions. When I attend the next (US) one, I'll head out in the evening and meet more folks.
