Went to the local Starbucks here at Connectathon 2007. The guy looked up and said "Awake, right?" The guy I was with was floored. I told him, what is so hard - I'm 6'5", currently sporting a handlebar, and always wearing a Green Lantern hoodie.
The event is going along fine. The main problem is that NFSv3 is too solid and the NFSv4 implementations are also getting that way. The NFSv4.1 stuff is really still in the design phase. But developers are getting small victories when they either get code to compile or even run against other vendors. I think that Connectathon 2008 will be more frantic and the victories will be larger.
