I did enjoy my yearly pilgrimage to the west coast. I remember my first cthon, I was working for Lachman Associates, sponsored by SCO, since we where selling them the both the NFS and TCP stacks back in the day... I think the only version of Linux at that point was Slackware. I remember my first cthon with Red Hat... A one person booth with at least 4 or 5 desktop stack on each other... before the days of vitalization... A bit tight... but I did "borrow" one of the nice chairs from the NOC. ;-) Who can forget the light bulb incident. A huge light from the ceiling, in the Sun campus, let loose and hit the chair I should have been sitting in... So I can honestly say that cthon almost kill me! 8-) Then of course those dinners... I remember Beepy being so thrilled that Red Hat would actually pick up a night cap! But of course that was after his very expensive dinner... Trond definitely took care a few of those as well... Plus a few of my Red Hat colleges did learn about alligator arms! Nothing but good!!! :-) Definitely an end of a era... Sad.. Red Hat will continue to host interoperability events, but we need to grow the server participation with the likes of Vmware, Microsoft, Dell/EMC as well as any other server vendors that are out there...
