If any of us can't keep up with the brief to-the-point tech and strategy talks, well.. oh well. The workshop itself is an open enviroment, with food and driks served at one wall and free wireless access. Further, you should keep in mind most of us know each other well. Not that it would change much, but there is another 10 minutes break later in the day and the evening to discuss over beer. Plus a life-time to continue on our respective lists. That said, you are right and we will aim to do better next time. Just be careful, because I fully intend to dump at least some of the work on your shoulders next time. :) Gadi.
