Where's Scoble ?

Sheesh. Anyone would think he (or rather his wife) had just had a baby :-)

Scoble was on the list I originally proposed; I don't know if the invite ever made it to him (or if it did, whether he accepted).

I recognized Vinnie, Dan F but not sure of the others. Any minutes/notes of the meeting?

Did anyone asked about Fusion with Wookey out of the picture?

Jake:

Left-right: Brian Sommer, don't know, Josh Greenbaum, Phil Wainwright, Charles, Michael Krigsman, Vinnie Mirchandani, not sure, Anshu Sharma, Jeff Nolan, Dan Farber.
Sorry to the two guys I don't know.
