Talk comments

Very clear and usefull talk. By far the only talk that has actually tought me this much in order to overcome unicode/utf-8 problems when dealing with PHP and MySQL.

Personally, I found this one of the lesser interesting opening keynotes I have seen so far. An opening keynote should be something that get's the vibe into the rest of the conference, and I did not get that feeling.

Although the key points of the talk were good, the supporting content/stories were often obvious, too lengthy or even just boring. And no, these are things that can't be fixed by adding kittens...

Very inspiring. A lot of things that were pretty common knowledge, but good to hear them again to refresh the memory. Also several things I hadn't considered before that I can now take with me. Great keynote, thanks!

Very nice workshop, never used so many post-it's before :)

Ow, and I still hope Mathias can post the final diagram(s) of the Student system to see how it should be.

I liked the fact that you paced yourself. Having a very (fast) and over-enthousiastic talks can also be draining on the participants.

You have a clear and steady opinion about the subject and bring it very well!

Excellent content and speaker! :)

The whole idea behind mentoring looked very obvious to me. After the keynote, I had the impression I didn't learned a single thing and this is sad considering I'm sure I could learn plenty of interesting things from a great speaker like Elizabeth.

The presentation skills were excellent, too bad the content was not really what I expected from a keynote.
