However there was more than sitting in the conference room at UCSD. We had a great time at Banana Bungalows on the beach, went out for a variety of food, had a few dragons and babies visit us and risked our lives getting to and from the university. Read on for some general impressions on the event, and for some motivation to attend Camp KDE 2011 next January, at a location still to be determined.yxylt;/pyxygt; yxylt;pyxygt;yxylt;a href=yxyquot;http://www.kdenews.org/2010/01/25/camp-kde-2010-wrapupyxyquot; target=yxyquot;_blankyxyquot;yxygt;read moreyxylt;/ayxygt;yxylt;/pyxygt;
