I'm also on my way back to Denmark (in the train to Schiphol now). And like @scalz says, it has been a freaking awesome weekend. Thanks to @yveaux for all the preparation, and letting us do couch surfing in his living room, @scalz for showing off the cool new sensors he is working on, @hek for starting this awesome project, and @marceltrapman and @sincze for helping out both in the booth, but also with sponsoring.
Also a big thank you to all the forum members (both current, and new) that took the time to visit us. It was nice meeting you all.
Now I'm looking forward to get my feet up when I come home, in about 4.5 hours..

@GertSanders No worries. We talked about your automated chicken Shed and flood control in a basement via GSM node to some other nice Belgium guy. ;-) that was looking for a flood control solution. So you were mentioned.
@sincze
The chicken shed was not my project, a compatriot did that. Basement flooding is very relevant to me :-) -
A couple of hours after the fair and I am still impressed with the response we got.
We all 'hey googled' the h*ll out of the fair and I just hope people remember 'MySensors' better than the dollhouse and 'hey google, scare me' :)
Although... The dollhouse was the best example of what can be done with MySensors and it attracted more people to our booth than anywhere else!I loved meeting my fellow team members and it was great fun to meet fellow forum members but even more to educate potential new members (young and old).
And now back to business...

I partecipated to Makers Fair in Eindhoven last weekend and it's where I fell in love with this community. I am quite enthusiastic of such environment where people share their precious know how and manage to make things apparently 'only for few' become accessible for a moltitude.
Thanks to the guys at the desk of the fair to be so friendly and patient especially for ppl like me saturating them with all kind of questions. -
Makes me wish I lived in europe. Unfortunately I live in the US and have never seen a maker fair near where I live. I guess I could check sometime if there may be one in Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago. I think it would be so interesting. Would have LOVED to be there for the MySensors booth. Is there any videos posted anywhere?
-
Great job guys, I saw many interested people.
The setup of the automated doll house was fascinating, also my son loved the sensor house (with the ghost)
Only this, I saw myself in one of taken pictures but unfortunately without the MySensor t-shirt ;-( -
Fantastic booth, congrats for the Dream Team !!!

This weekend there is a Maker Faire that is happening in Milwaukee Wisconsin. My wife and I were going to go to this. I had the tickets, car loaded, heading out of town and the transmission blew in our SUV. Had to call a tow truck to get us back to town. I was so looking forward to this as it would have been my first Maker Faire. I guess there is always next time.
