I can't stress enough the importance of the ports hackathon. The current ports infrastructure changes come directly from some discussions we had during that week.
The idea of streamlining MULTI_PACKAGES was completely non existent before Budapest. Maybe I would have thought about it at some point, maybe not. The offsprings from that idea are nothing short of amazing (at least for me). The current framework is much, much clearer and faster and powerful than it was two months ago. And this wouldn't have happened without Budapest. So thank you again to anyone who donated, directly or indirectly, so that we could meet and hack during the week.
