[forge-dev] Forge at the Devoxx 2012 Hackergarten

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Hey guys!

This is great. I won't be at Devoxx this year (sorry Dan! I'm breaking
tradition!) But next year I should be back on the bandwagon. It was too
much turbulence.

Let me know how I can help for this event, though, and when it will be, in
case you want me to lurk in any channels or hangouts to help folks. Last
year the Hackergaarden kind of flopped for Forge because we didn't have
much promotion, and not much interest from the crowd (they all wanted to
hack on Scala or something.)

But if we can put up a big sign and have someone from the team there to
gather participants, I think it would work better.
