Hi Leif, This is a great activity, thank you for contributing to the community this way!
Do not be surprise and discouraged by the fact that the interest seems low. I have a similar experience - in my company we can consult with an "industry hero" yet people use the opportunity seldom, presumably because of multiple factors: they (wrongly) don't feel that they do not have something important/interesting enough to bother him, they are little scared of talking to and exposing themselves and their work to this experienced guy, and might find it difficult to explain their challenge to an outsider and get an advice within the limited time scope. On the other hand, those who dare to use the opportunity benefit from it greatly. Good luck, Jakub On Friday, April 11, 2014 4:13:18 AM UTC+2, Leif wrote: > > Hmm... less interest than I'd expected, given recent posts.
