Best conversations happen in the hallways at these things. Grabbed a hallway lunch with Roland Tanglao who I think I met for the first time at the Harvard bloggerCon thing in 2003. I caught him up-to-date on my continuing use of Manila / Frontier for Galileo, BAWP and NWP. We agreed that it's a great CMS. But for my part, I was asking "Where's it going?" When I get a bunch of users at BAWP or NWP, how do I offer it as a solution avialble beyond our KCSOS ASP? Turns out he's working with Bryght on developing Drupal as a CMS for clients. Hmmm.

The lunch table was shared with Ranvir Gujral (from InsightPath) who was just back from wineCamp. He mentioned that participants there talked about hosing an edCamp on the barCamp model for August of this year. Digital shades of edBloggerSF2003. If I'm not in Amsterdam in August, I'll sign up. I'll even try to score a school for free conference space if it comes down to that.
