A Word of Thanks

SharkFest’19 US proved to be a blazing success thanks to the generous, giving community in attendance. Particular thanks to Gerald Combs and his merry band of core developers for inspiring the many first-time participants by opening with a keynote that illuminated the 20-year history of the project, to instructors who selflessly donated time and wisdom to educate and mentor participants, to sponsors who so generously provided the resources to make the conference possible, to the UC Berkeley Events team for their expert guidance, to tireless caterers who served up varied and delicious daily fare, and to a staff and volunteer crew who once again went overboard in making the conference as smooth and pleasant an experience as possible for attendees!
