I got no response from Nathan, so I guess he's overwhelmed with the
conference. I guess you guys will have to find an empty classroom on
Wednesday at/after 4:30pm. I'd suggest dropping a note with the person
manning the registration/info table and ask if a classroom has been
selected
for an informal round table discussion. If a room hasn't been selected,
just
pick a classroom and ask if they'd notify any interested people. You may
be
able to find Nathan hanging around there or see if you can find Tony
Gravagno. The only round table I had a chance to participate in was 5 or 6
people hanging out in a lobby at the Star Dust.
