We had a phenomenal turnout and a most exciting panel discussion session today! (01)
Thanks to Bill McCarthy for coming up with the theme, preparing for
and moderating the session. Our distinguished panelists and
participants at the session were just wonderful. I trust we all
learned some from one another at the session. (02)
The archive of the session is available at our wiki session page

The session recording (mp3 file) and telephone playback

session, or those who would want to revisit all or part of the
session again. ( See:
