One note as somewhat of an outside observer - I thought the fact that you guys pushed the 4.10 release during the conference was a big plus. It was mentioned a few times (to applause) and it certainly made it clear that work is being done on the Apache project. I don't know if the timing of the 4.10 release was specifically coordinated with the conference, but it ended up working out well.
