PLoP 2009

Unfortunately, I got a cold and cannot join my good friend and former colleague Christian Kohls at the PLoP 2009 conference in Chicago. I have contributed some ideas to our common paper "Is that true? Thoughts on the epistemology of patterns", but basically the whole pattern topic is Christian's field of research. I am really curious about what seems to be a very particular and close community of practice and I am looking forward to Christian's report of the conference.
