Enough is enough, whether the numbers are small or great. I think you are underestimating the pull you could have if D'arcy, Brian Lamb and some of your other buddies got involved, without the confining limitations of the standard conference. That's an event Downes might well include in OLDaily, and maybe even attend.<BR/><BR/>I will be satisfied with an attempt, and I have more to say to back up this idea if it would help.Steven Eganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05389795610060192074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719706971004039819.post-20541752151318693062009-02-19T07:03:00.000-08:002009-02-19T07:03:00.000-08:00Steven,<BR/><BR/>You turn a goof into a very compelling idea, that's pretty awesome. I think your rationale makes plenty of sense, and the idea that it isn;t guided by an organization, but rather a group of people that want to share makes it even more compelling to me. The question I have is that my pull my be far less than you think. Folks are often caught up in their day-to-day, and a conference, even distributed, mght at times seem too much. The idea may be appealing, but I'm not so sure the numbers will be great. However, I'm not sure this is a problem either if the right people attend, and things get rolling. <BR/><BR/>So, in the spirit of you taking this nonsense seriously, I'll propose something along these lines as well, using your rationale, which I think is very smart, and we'll see what happens, as long as we both agree not to be too upset if it becomes a dud. Can you live with that?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being a maniac.Jimhttp://bavatuesdays.comnoreply@blogger.com
