I'm attending DreamForce right now and I'm not surprised there isn't a lot of discussion.
SalesForce has reached a stage of maturity where they're focused less on innovation and more on capitalizing on all of their assets. Prior events focused on some form of evangelism, convincing people that the standard way of doing things was antiquated and a better option existed. Now, everybody is hip to what they're up to so there's less buzz.
DreamForce is just a brilliant marketing play now. Not much to see here that would be hackernewsworthy.
Except for the hackathon, but that kind of ended up being a little sketchy IMO. Otherwise, they didn't do much other than throw out cheesy marketing phrases "at the speed of sales" "internet of customers" etc etc
