Re: [Auth]So how did Denver go?

David,

It occurs to me that I haven't replied to you yet!  Finally got a good 
night's sleep and am playing catch-up with a few things.  I guess 
that's a good sign, or at least I'm taking it taking it that way.

Denver was outstanding in many ways.  It was a small conference with a 
high bigwig-to-littlewig ratio.  Got to chat with Doc Searls, Chris 
Locke, Andre Durand, John Terpstra, and Dick Hardt, among many others.  
The whole identity management thing is taking off but folks don't know 
exactly what they want yet, and various folks got very excited about 
us, including folks from Sony, Toyota, Boeing, and State Farm, to name 
the ones that come to mind first.

A lot of very interesting conversations, a lot of very forward 
thinking.  I think Conductor (nee MACS) is in a good position with its 
emphasis on legacy apps: that seems to be a blind spot in most of the 
big competition's strategy.

So now the moment of truth.  Can Medley close a deal by the end of the 
year?  I hope so -- otherwise, I'll have to get a job of some sort.  
Time will tell.

Cheers!
