And a thanks to Dave Winer for organizing the event. Sorry to say, I still haven’t met the man. Had a good time at the dinner last night — met many interesting people:

• Scott Mace: working on the swamp of calendar formats so we can actually have shared calendars that work.
• Scott Rosenberg: look for his coming book (in November) on the Chandler product.
• Sylvia Paull: talked about what to blog and what not to blog; what to look forward to as a parent; and about nerdliness.
• Jay Cross: talked about all sorts of things . . . he pointed out that Vista is going to be a bonanza for training companies.
• Steve Hill: has a cool idea for geographically distributed events.
• Edward Piou: cool to talk to a FreeBSD user for a change. FreeBSD rocks!

And a shout out to the enigmatic Dr. Chadblog (aka Chad Williams) — didn’t get a chance to talk this time.
