Yes, the conference is over. It went very well.

Since I am a speaker at the conference, it's difficult for me to give my opinion as a "user", but I can tell you there were over 14,000 attendees and 35,000 virtual attendees (they do it online as well).

They also have a 'customer appreciation' event every year and this year's event was pretty amazing.

I've been at Networkers (now called Cisco Live) for about 10 years - 5 of them as a speaker and this event was one of the best I've ever seen.

Balabit might actually want to consider participating as a vendor in one of these events (there's one in London next Feb. as well).

There were 300 people in my session, about 85% of them already use syslog-ng - the other 15% will likely be using now because of the session.

If you guys want more info on that, feel free to email me off list and I can put you in touch with the Cisco Live staff.

It would be nice to see another syslog company out there other than Clunk :-)

I guess the conference is over, could you please summarize your
experiences? I, for one, am very curious :)

Thanks.
