Having an interactive talk is much more fun and more attractive to the attendees. Ross, kindly, gave me a great chance to give this talk in Sienshein. The only thing I added is to try to give a show case like scenario using the attendees them selves. IIRC, Ross liked the idea but the case itself was not a good example. He mentioned some people made research in that area and they have a good case using which the show can be better. @Ross: I hope you still remember that :) as you promised to give me links/pointers about that research @Benson and @Hadrian: Good luck :) > > > Ross > > > On 13 February 2013 22:55, Nick Burch <n...@apache.org> wrote: > > > On Wed, 13 Feb 2013, Hadrian Zbarcea wrote: > > > >> Ross I think you delivered it in Vancouver.
