VRMWorkshop
Next week. Doc reviewed the details. We are looking into bringing in food for lunch. It's mostly a budgeting issue, but we will definitely have coffee and snacks for breaks. Have a couple of classic classrooms, but also have access to the nearby food court which is a great ad-hoc meeting space. So, we can spill over/emigrate if we desire.
How many sessions and timing?

Promoting VRM
Is it too early to advertise VRM before we really have product?
Some negative feedback from a talk that Doc gave.
Deb: It may be the audience. Some audiences just aren't ready for it. Plus, an initiative in development can be exciting in its own way. That said, it is important to be clear that this is big, and hairy and complicated and we're working on it.
