In Paul's defense, it was a joke. I get it: That's the question that used to
be asked at every Meeting of the Members after the attendence numbers were
announced. It wasn't even Paul who always asked. The joke is in the ALWAYS
part. You just announced attendence numbers. The question HAD to be asked.

Paul,

When are you going to let it go? For gods sake, if you spent 1/10
of the time that you do knocking the COMMON organization, on anything else
you would be a superhero at that.

I think it is time you retire the chip off your shoulder about
COMMON.

I can tell you that NONE of them were paid, it was a FREE
Conference.

Pete

We had discussed this in quite some detail 2 weeks ago, when I had done the
initial post. I had said attendance was really good, but COMMON hadn't
publicly announced the attendance, so since they just did and I thought I
would just post this. It was a really good event, and I listened to quite a
few of the sessions (many of the speakers are your fellow M-Lers), and for
those that had registered, they could go back and hear the recordings. I
had known the attendance before the event, so I had known there were quite a
few registered, even though some people hadn't originally known about the
event.

Anyway, Here is part of the COMMON newsfeed.

With over 650 registered attendees, great educational sessions, a virtual
Expo that was buzzing with activity, and expert speakers, this new COMMON
event was a hit. Thank you to the speakers who brought their expertise and
shared it with our attendees: Larry Bolhuis, Wayne Bowers, David Brault,
Gene Cobb, Birgitta Hauser, Scott Klement, Pete Massiello, Mike Pavlak, Tim
Rowe and Robin Tatam.

Don't forget the upcoming RPG/PHP Conference in beautiful warm Tampa, FL
this coming Feb 11 & 12th.

Pete
