It wasn't that bad... I think it has more to do with expectations than anything else. its hard to get 2, let alone 120 people to agree on anything. I'm sure some people loved the volunteering, others loved the text study, others learned something from the skill sessions, others can to talk about what they care about in the "open spaces" and others got to network with some like-minded people and make new friends. All in all I had a wonderful time as a participant, even if I didn't connect with every piece of programming or every participant.
