The sessions for the developer day had been quite interesting. There were so much info and so much to try and absorb. The Mochitest, Tinderbox, and all the other different tools used for debugging; Tests written in different languages and tests used for different formats (js, css, html). Interesting as it is, it still seem just a bit too much for someone who's just diving in to the Mozilla project for the first time.
There were lots of terminology, lots of technology, and lots of people who were being mentioned throughout the sessions, so unless you've done some prep work, or you've been involved, it's kind of hard to really know what's going on.
On a good note, it was really nice to get the opportunity to actually talk with some of the developers in person. I personally find that much better than chatting on irc all the time.
Specifically someone I talked with was Ted Mielczarek. Although we only talked for a bit and it was mainly about the Profile Build project, I could already tell he's a pretty cool guy and I can easily approach him if I ever run into any problems.
