Dreamforce 2007 Wrap Up
I’m bleary eyed as I write this wrap up of the Salesforce user Conference. I had a great time seeing lots of old friends and meeting a bunch of great new folks. Here were my top 15 moments:
- INXS, baybee!
- Going to the Nonprofit Salesforce.com party. Four words: stretch limo, Tiburon, and Marga-greet-as.
- Demoing the fun work Matthew and I did with Apex, and what Andrew and Jesse have built with Plone integration, and getting great response.
- Having Simon Fell ask me what my number one feature request was…and giving him 4!
- Staying up late with Evan Callahan–it was like geek summer camp…
- Being one of 3 folks to win a Developer Hero award from Adam Gross. Thanks Adam!
- Getting interviewed by Peter Coffee on the Expo floor
- Hearing great news on direction of the platform–big doings in the next 12 months
- Having 75 separate conversations about how we all have way too much work to do
- Getting nominated for an Appy award and losing to a much more deserving nonprofit–congrats Family Service Agency of San Francisco! And continued good luck with your implementation!
- Demoing for Sonny Cloward the heavy customizations we’ve done to manage our consulting program in Salesforce.com
- Getting to thank Glenn at CRMFusion and Andrew at Clicktools for giving us access to their awesome products. Mark from Apextremes was so busy telling people about Conga, I didn’t get a chance to thank him!
- Seeing Chris Pokrana continue to cash in on that photo shoot from 2005–he was on-screen 3 times in the keynote
- Meeting tons of great people–let’s stay in touch.
- Actually using twitter in a helpful way…I didn’t think it was possible
Thanks again to the Salesforce.com Foundation who got us all there, and showed us a great time. Now, off to dig myself out of a big pile of email!
