   I will be at the Alt Telecom Policy Forum as well.  I hope there will
be name-tags we can use to find each other.

   It was great to see you there.

   I've only had the chance to write one BLOG entry on the event,
specifically for the CLUE community.

   I will likely be adding more on my DCC BLOG later
http://www.digital-copyright.ca/blog/2 , and referencing the other BLOGS
once I find them.  It was discussed at the conference, but I never saw
the links to the various sites discussed as I didn't bring a laptop.  It
is a sub-community that would be interesting to have their own mailing
list to periodically share ideas.
