Re: The conversations at extro3 were as valuable as the talks

When a conference "clicks", the one feeds the other.

I saw that happening more often than not.

Of course, I'm biased about the presentation after dinner, because
I saw actual *progress* there. (big grin).

Is Ping on this list? If not, can we DRAFT him?

I'm still grinning...

Agreed. Also worthy of note is that the Doubletree staff is mostly new,
as was probably clear to experienced con-goers used to the more seasoned
Red Lion staff that has been supplanted.
