Just a point here ... just because we make two distinct packages, doesn't
mean that both packages shouldn't be available at the shows ... nor does
it mean that bits from each package can't be pulled/merged into a "show
package" ... IMHO, we have two camps here ... one that is strong into
"techno-advocacy", and the other into "suit-advocacy" ... each "package"
should be the culmination of that groups work ...
