Best Parts:

• Saw Rassi! That was an awesome surprise! 😀
• Really good talks (like the one on North Korea) !
• A lot of cool groups with neat stuffs (FSF, No Starch Press, etc)!

Worst Parts:

• Hope X was kinda oversold, and they couldn’t fit a lot of people for the keynote talks. It was a huge bummer.
• Videos of talks won’t be up for a while. Info Booth folks said Hope was planning to sell them as DVDs, and then release them much later. (Temporarily, they’re up on Hope X stream archive)

Today is the first day of day HOPE X conference. I’m loving all the talks by dissenters, hackers, and tinkerers.

I’m also loving the conference badge. It’s an embroidered patch!

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s talks!
