That makes sense. I had forgotten about the announce list, or I would
have used it in the first place.

Well, I am half a Wharton weenie and half an engineer, so I thought
it was interesting. As I said, he spoke about several business models
supported by Open Source software, and then he gave the advocacy pitch.
(ie how to be an effective open source advocate and not totally
alienate your managers by thinking of them as idiots) He spoke for
nearly 4 hours, which is impressive in and of itself.
As an aside, pictures of the event are available here

Be warned, that is a *big* page (lots of thumbnails). I am in the
extremely dark pictures at the top of the page which depict us trying
to transport Eric from 30th street station to the Towne building in
record time.
