[California] NACIS Talk in Oct

Thu Oct 8 12:30:17 EDT 2009

Bob,

We gave the presentation to an audience that numbered from 150 to 200
cartographers. I didn't see too many people sleeping. The presenters did
a good job, but it was hard to cover much with just 12 minutes for each
person.

We didn't get as many questions at the end of the presentation as I had
hoped. I had to leave immediately after we presented, so the other guys
may have had additional questions after the session was over.

Thanks for asking.

Hello all,

Unfortunately I am not able to go to this conference (even though I work
just 3 blocks away).  I hope the talk went well and I am looking forward
to how it went.
