This year I helped out with the organisation of XPDay - I had hoped to talk myself into a student volunteer role, but sadly ended up doing some actual work in advance (poster chair and working on various tasks such as conference feedback, student volunteers, t-shirts, flyers etc.).
I helped Karl Scotland re-run the coding dojo session that I designed for the Brighton Festival Dojo. It was interesting to return to this with a group of professional programmers rather than a mixed skill group.
I also got to attend a number of fun talks and workshops.
I think XPDay was a success all in all, despite the split across two venues. The feedback gathered was positive, and I had a great time.
Next year I may consider submitting a session of my own, we shall see. Either way we'll need to order more small t-shirts next time...
