"FalterCon 2007 took place on August 11, and it went quite well (IMHO, of course). 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."

People have lives outside of computing. Perhaps a hastily thrown together and not well defined substitute for a failed convention for a niche OS got trumped by other real life plans and responsibilities? I know that I never gave Faltercon a second thought after I read about it. I think that Bryanv has a *highly* over-inflated opinion of the event. And based upon what he has posted here, possibly of himself, as well.

Please give me one reason to give such a harsh response. It's weird to read Thom telling predictor to behave and a few posts later, read your post. Granted, bryanv comment was misplaced, but there's absolutely no reason to give such a reply.
Edit: typos, spelling and stuff

"Exactly. Thom, I totally understand you not coming. But Eugenia... c'mon. You live in the area."
Maybe she tried to boot haiku and got disgruntled?
