Re: Common presentation

I am curious as to how well attended your common presentation was.

Relatively well, IMO. Wasn't a blow out, but people showed up and stayed.

Nine people showed up initially, 3 left almost as soon as I started claiming it wasn't what they were expecting (not sure how you could mistake the content).

The remaining 6 stayed till the end. IMO, not bad for a new session from a new speaker on a niche topic.

Sadly there were twp people who wanted to attend (and I would have loved to have them attend) but couldn't due to their own sessions & labs. Paul Tuohy indicated that he and Jon Paris would have been there if they didn't have conflicts.

Could you get a feel for the makeup of the audience? (other current plug-in
developers/future plug-in developers/or just David Gibbs fans)?

I didn't know any personally (except for Vern, who was the speakers assistant), so I doubt they were "David Gibbs" fans.

What types of questions did you field at the session?

Only a few ... and, sadly, I don't remember what they were. I should have written them down. None of them were very complex.

Will you modify your presentation based upon those questions, or is there
another session that could grow from this?

I am going to rework the session a bit ... as I think, in hind sight, it wasn't organized all that well. I think the content is fairly good though.
