@Doug Smith - Nice meeting you as well. Yep, as I mentioned I think the lack of core developers and such hindered how effective the Contributor day was. However, I'm also thinking that perhaps outside of WordCamp San Francisco, contributor day doesn't make much sense as most WordCamps are filled with locals who may not have a clue about contributing to WordPress. So perhaps Contributor day should be renamed to something else because I think it's a great idea to take what you've learned in the previous day or two and have dedicated time to work on ideas or projects the next day. Make Sunday just one big happiness bar lol.
