Wish me luck! On Wednesday at 2pm Pacific time, I'll be the open source guy on a panel on "Innovation and Intellectual Property". It's part of the VSLive conference, and there'll be 4,000 Windows programmers in attendance. Let's see how many GPL converts I can make in an hour :-). I'll post again after the panel and let you know how it went.
