FrOSCon really was a great event. To be honest, beforehand i personally doubted it could be even comparable to e.g. FOSDEM in Brussels, but i was totally wrong! Eventhough it probably was a little bit smaller than FOSDEM, in many aspects i found it even better than FOSDEM this year.
The more i found it sad, there has not been a openSUSE booth or let alone a openSUSE track of presentations.
The organizers of it really did a fantastic job. Absolutely every aspect was prepared very well, so e.g. i think this was the first conference i attended where not a single presenter i saw had to struggle (wasting time) getting his/her laptop to work with the installed beamer, or even not to forget the free coffee for all visitors and a very reliable wireles internet access.
Most of the presentations were really very good (and one could also additionally give feedback and rate them on a webpage). Topics were nicely spread over many areas and levels, so everybody should have found appropriate talks.
The booths (too many to remember and name all here) all had many visitors and the ambience was very positive and relaxed. I felt very welcome and absolutely everybody was very willing to help with any kind of question or problem.
I really hope i can make it again there next year.
