This was a really interesting report. Thanks for taking the time to post
it. It was nice to see that everything seems to have "just worked" and
some attendees were impressed enough to consider a switch.

The stuff that the GNOME accessibility group are doing continues to blow
me away (even if I still cannot use GNOME with Bill's "all blue" theme).
