On a regular basis, I visit the NLUUG conferences. The theme of this version was very appealing to me and the keynote by John “Maddog” Hall made it even more interesting. The location was different from the previous conferences. The “NCB” complex in Nieuwegein was easy to reach by train and tram and they had good coffee. From the lectures I attended, I created a small report, that can be found here: nluug_voorjaar_2012.
