Joomla User Group New England is the nicest bunch of Joomies you'd ever hope to meet. And I'm the luckiest Joomie of them all, because I get to live here and work with them!

Thank you to all of our attendees. Some of you got up at 5 AM to drive from Boston to the middle of nowhere to sit in a hellishly hot auditorium all day, but left smiling, recharged, and happy.

Thank you, as always, to Marlboro College and Marlboro College Graduate School, for the free space, the support with logistics and wireless, and the giveaways. Your constant support is a tremendous help and benefit to our group.

Thank you to our Gold Sponsors: JoomlArt, JoomlaShack, Rochen, and JomSocial. With your help, we were able to bring top-notch talent to this event.

Thank you to our Silver Sponsors: 4Web Inc., Akeeba Backup, TNR Global, and RS Joomla. We appreciate all of the goodies and giveaways you added to our goodie bags!

Thank you to our speakers for putting on such an interesting and compelling program in exchange for travel expenses and our undying gratitude!

Thank you to my dear friend Janet Hoffmann and her significant other, Jason Anyan, for lunch. I never had to worry for a minute that the food would be awesome, and both carnivores and vegetarians would be happy.

Thanks to all who sent wonderful goodie bag items: osTraining, JoomlaShack, JomSocial, Joomla Showroom, Wrox Press (thanks for the bags!), Lynda.com, RS Joomla, O'Reilly, Vermont Brewer's Festival, Prentice Hall, JoomlArt, JoomlaPlug.com, Akeeba Backup, and Packt.

But most of all, thank you to our fabulous organizers, who spent the last 6 months working so hard to get this day running smoothly and efficiently, and who can't be thanked enough.

Thank you in particular to JilMac for making sure we had good wireless and projectors that work, signs, Costco run, cleanup and the countless other ways you helped.

Thanks to Bernice Singley for registration, cleanup, and for saying things only Bernice can say.

Thanks to Elizabeth Bonney for the terrific program -- we missed you yesterday!

Thanks to Doug Patac for all of the pictures. Can't wait to see them on Flickr!

Thanks to Heidi Stanclift for putting out breakfast, helping put away food, cleanup, website updates, and bringing home 100 lbs of cow afterwards.

Thanks to Andy Tarr for cleanup duty, tent research, and picking up Joe at the airport. Love those cow ears!

Thanks to Melissa Wetherby for all of the tweets, organizing Flickr, and for helping me tease Brian.

We'll be meeting the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7 PM, enjoying healthy and unhealthy snacks, and telling happy and sad Joomla stories at the Marlboro College Graduate School in Brattleboro, VT. Come join Joomla User Group New England anytime -- we would love to have you!
