Agree on A, B and C. Chris will be putting the presentations on the site (or YouTube) but it is great when the speakers make their work available so you can follow up and learn more.

I'm not sure that was conveyed given the overall state of the speakers: a) be a great speaker (i.e. prepare, test you talk on other audiences or at least your co-workers, and bring some energy) b) don't just sell your company -- it's OK if you spend 10% of the time on your own thing, IMO, but if the % gets to 30-40% and doesn't bring in competitors or other solutions, then thanks, but I'll take the sales pitch somewhere else... like... maybe Google AdWords :-) c) make your materials available (before, during & after) -- I don't think this was a major issue, but it's always nice to have them Catch you next year :-) Sean — was great meeting you at Gnomedex — I totally agree on the two speakers (Robert Steele and Sterling Allan) — I personally didn’t think Jason’s Mahalo talk was that annoying… the hubbub was actually unwarranted IMO, but I think it’s good to remind speakers ahead of time what’s expected of them. I’m not sure that was conveyed given the overall state of the speakers:

a) be a great speaker (i.e. prepare, test you talk on other audiences or at least your co-workers, and bring some energy)

b) don’t just sell your company — it’s OK if you spend 10% of the time on your own thing, IMO, but if the % gets to 30-40% and doesn’t bring in competitors or other solutions, then thanks, but I’ll take the sales pitch somewhere else… like… maybe Google AdWords :-)

Catch you next year :-)

You're clearly a really fun dude, and I'm glad Deb made us meet. (I never *really* say dude).
