No doubt the Plumbers organizers could have done a lot of things better. But they worked their asses off and put together a top-quality conference, which is what they set out to do. I wish there were a few more comments saying "thanks, Plumbers folks!" and a few fewer complaints...

The problem with humanity is that we take things that work for granted, and when something doesn't work it stands out, and we like to complain about it. In a way it's not that bad, since the best way to improve oneself is to fix what is wrong more so than concentrating on what is right.

But that said, I was there for only one day, unfortunately, and I thought they did an excellent job. Plumbers concentrates on developers (both kernel and userspace), and they do a good job at keeping that focused. Plumbers is still very new, and there's lots of places that they can improve on. But what they have accomplished so far, is worthy of compliments. Kudos to Plumbers and those that worked it.

Exactly

I'd have to say that the whole week, from the co-located LinuxCon events, to LinuxCon itself, and LPC, was amazingly well organized and executed overall, probably the best I've seen (or at least on par with LCA).

I hope that what we're seeing here is a case of most people being happy and not having to say anything, with a small minority of people commenting who simply don't understand what it takes to make anything like this work at all, let alone exceptionally well.

That, to avoid confusion, is Linus's first Linux Plumber's Conference Git Tutorial, i.e. circa 2008. Sadly, the Plumbers videotape of the event didn't actually survive, so note that we at least improved over the previous year in that this year's video is actually extant :).

This year's talk was hence billed as an "Advanced git tutorial".

oops, sorry for the confusion, thanks for the clarification.
