Still suffering a little from jet lag, but I came and stayed voluntarily, and learned a lot, since I did come quite a long way back. This was a warm up, an icebreaker, a nice way in to ease in to some of the issues. In terms of a higher quality learning experience for the observers, some small group chat may have helped (but we have twitter) (which leads to a broader audience not in the room as well) - maybe some references on the website to read up on in advance (but hey, that's what Google is for). Just a pity the wifi was flaky. I think both Dave and Stephen may have benefited a lot from the chat - it's done now, and we can move on. One real question is: did it help the conference move it's thinking on? Not much, I'd say, but that's not S&D's fault. The questions are hard questions. I was there for the afternoon.
