The first day of devLink started out the night before at 10:30 PM EST. Mike Eaton and I began our trek down through Indiana, Kentucky, a couple truck stops and were finally dumped into Nashville, Tennessee at 5:30 AM CST.
Josh Holmes was awesome by letting Mike and I stay in his room to catch up on some z’s and shower the road grime off.
The next stop in the day was the Community Leadership Summit at Jack’ s BBQ. This was a great way to start devLink, by giving people in the community an outlet on how to grow and nuture the community. The break down was, there were a couple group chosen lightening talks, moved on to open spaces and then a quick presentation on each open space talk. Prizes were given out through out the event, including a chainmail coif. Who doesn’t want chainmail? really, who? Could you imagine a business meeting if you walked in wearing chainmail? Sweet.
After the summit a group of us went to The Melting Pot. Hooooly cow. I kept eating and eating and eating, I had to leave or I would burst. I didn’t want the waitresses to have to clean up, so I stopped. If you are in Nashville and are looking for a place to eat, make sure you go there at least once.
I had so many great hallway conversations and I’m looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Oh and I finally got to bed around 1:30 AM.
