Here I would like to share my personal impressions of the event, as well as make a few (somewhat) related observations. When the news of the WalterCon cancellation broke out and I read about some people being left with non-refundable air tickets, my first reaction was 'OK, let's do something with these guys'. A few emails later with Mike Summers, Bryan Varner and Urias, we had decided on having a community gathering which, as many of you know, was to later be called FalterCon (yes, pun intended). In approximately two weeks, we found a venue (and a good one!), had this website running, prepared some nice promo material, and were able to gather nine people willing to attend. All in all, I think we did
pretty well given the very little time we had."

"I'm not sure I see how Haiku is a relevant OS for day-to-day personal or commercial business."
If they get the OS stable, it'll be relevant because a lot of people want a BeOS like system. I assume Haiku plans to modernise it.
Now, one thing i hope Haiku will fix is the crazy menu-oriented GUI of BeOS. It's nice the first couple of minutes, then your mouse arm starts to hurt...
