I mean seriously, do they wanna get the message out or do they wanna get the message out? Well I thought they wanted to get the message out!
It seems like such a waste of resources and everybody's time to just "hold the event" and then that's that. Over. No archiving.
This is so disappointing. I've seen this behavior with so many other conferences too. Wisdom shared in closed circles, transformed into vague memories in the attendees mind where it is then being quickly eroded by the forces of time. If they only realized how easy it is to immortalize the knowledge and share it with thousands of curious minds all over the world. Ok, I'm preaching. Someone stop me. thanks.
