And, of course, there was programming shop-talk. I got to talk about embedded systems with Matt, tried to beg some help with a Drupal installation from part of the PostgreSQL crew, and started to decompress a little from the ERP migration I just completed on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>And there were a ton of women! My unofficial assessment was that about 15% of the group were women. <\/p>\n<p>Portland is so awesome. <\/p>\n<p>I want to thank <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/samkeen\/\">Sam Keen<\/a> for putting this together. I know that a lot of other people were involved, but he was the guy sending out the email, contacting us user group leaders and getting sponsorships. Sam, you really did a great job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made it out for the last hour or so of the December Coder&#8217;s Bash last night.
