Well thanks.

I was incommunicado for nearly all of last week in India, at another
conference...

I appreciate that you have been busy, and that's it's difficult to find time for everything (I certainly have that problem a lot). But it does seem to me that *someone* high up at Marketing (Jacqueline, perhaps, if not you?) could have dashed off a sentence or two to this list, and/or the Events list, immediately after the RegiCon -- saying, essentially "Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard before and during RegiCon to make it a success!" Would that have taken so long?


... but would like to post a summary of DLS as soon as you can
get me one.  I'm also working on the LinuxAsia conferece summary and am
keen to post thanks and summaries of Boston LWE.

It's good to have a more permanent record, but *immediate* positive feedback is vitally important in a volunteer project. It's so easy to help people feel appreciated, and equally easy to leave the impression that they are being taken for granted, even if that is not true.


Regards, Jean
