I came back to Buenos Aires the day before yesterday, after a wonderful experience in Orlando. CakeFest was not only a great opportunity to be a part of the first official CakePHP gathering, but most importantly to meet a lot of smart people. As I said to someone while in Orlando, eventhough all the talks were thorough and hands-down interesting, I found that the after hours were the moments where I got most out of the conference. Just hanging out with fellow bakers, drinking beer (lots of beer) and talking code to each other was an incredible opportunity.
I enjoyed my time there so much that I came back completely decided to host a CakeFest in Buenos Aires, Argentina during the first week of December, 2008. I am already taking care of the organization and will open up inscriptions very soon (so now you can’t complain, you have almost 10 months of notice.) Some of the talks will be english and some in spanish, so everyone is invited to join. As a corolary, I’ll leave you with some pictures taken in Orlando (wish I would’ve taken more). Click on the pictures to get their respective bigger size photos.

@Dean: there’s no planned CakeFest in Australia, but there’s a CakeFest in Buenos Aires, Argentina on December 2008. Head on and sign up! Let me tell you, it’s definitely worth traveling to, as it is even going to be greater and more fun than CakeFest in Orlando, which is saying a lot!
