Keeping a community vibrant and its members engaged is hard work. Shepherding a community through the stages of its lifecycle from inception to robust interaction takes finesse.

It was delightful because I had the luxury of listening to a roster of informative speakers discussing a wide variety of issues ranging from cloud (of course!) to analytics.
