It was great to be able to listen to your presentation and see the slides here to catch up. I have also been chatting with Merriwyn about some of the discussion. Oh - and I just looked at the time - I guess you had a point about that work-life balance. Thanks so much for being at the unconference. Merriwyn said your session really got in to the whole unconference spirit with everyone contributing. Hi Kathryn
