RE: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Keynote: Bob Sutt on -

I certainly like the concept. There are some open source projects that have
their fair share of assholes and almost make me want to walk away (if I
didn't need them so badly). I'd hate to see Eclipse go in that direction.
And, yes, I've been guilty of being a "Temporary Asshole" too many times :).

But I agree with Don, the presentation style wasn't as inspiring as the
content should have lent itself. But, we've had worse I guess.
