Hotel reservations made, train ticket booked and paid for, and everything else coming together. I'm working on getting some of lingering things done before I leave town for a few days. Starts on Wednesday and ends Friday evening.
This'll be the first RETS meeting I've attended and, really, is the first time I've had anything other than text conversations with people involved with RETS. I'm not sure what to expect and I have no idea how many other people are going to be there. I know the Inman conference was recently so there may be people who don't want to come to both. Who knows. We'll see.
I'm not much of an idea person but there are a lot of things about RETS that strike me a little odd so I hope to bring up some good points during the smaller discussions (assuming I don't chicken out and keep my mouth shut). At this point, I'm not that interested in the RETS2 Payload discussions (or really RETS2 that much overall) yet so I'll probably be at most of the other sessions, including ones I probably won't have anything to contribute to.
I've thought of some more RETS-related content I can put together to hopefully help other people getting a fresh start with RETS. I was recently able to help a developer from Massachusetts that opened my eyes to a lot of things. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about RETS as probably most of the other people at this meeting I'm going to, but I'm also not brand new to it either. I think I'm in a unique position to be able to bridge the ever-increasing gap between those 2 sides and have the tools and knowledge to pull it off.
Stay tuned. We'll see how this goes.
