Hi all,

Speaking of kickoff, when I told my management that our team was not planning on doing our usual seminars (motors, programming, & rookie camp) at the kickoff in NH because of budget cuts, I was told that they may be able to find funds to support that activity after all.

So... I have a few questions for folks out there.

1) Is there going to be anybody in NH to see them if we did host them afterall?

2) If we had them on Thursday would anybody consider coming a day earlier? How about Thursday evening?

I would want to expand the programming bit to at least a half day affair. Last year I was just getting to the bit where things get interesting and my time was up. I would also like to have the Innovation First folks go before my talk in order to save time for more interesting programming issues.

Please provide feedback.

Joe J.
