Lynn, I just looked at the Warpstock schedule to see what other
presentations ran at the same time.

Good heavens, man! You were up against three of the strongest
presentations of the weekend. From
http://www.warpstock.org/2003/presentations/schedule.html -

Sunday 12:30 -
Disaster Recovery
Open Source Development (Lynn Maxson)
Wireless Networking
OpenOffice

I'm convinced that you didn't have a standing room only crowd simply
because of what you were scheduled against. It's well known that
there's an impact; we carefully scheduled everything at the broadcast
stations (it's called "counter-programming") to reduce the competing
stations' ratings to rubble. All the Warpstock sessions were excellent
I'm told, but sometimes the scheduling can't quite accomodate the more
subtle demographics such as the value of open source which you spoke on.
