I've been following that same thread of conversation for quite awhile, through Lou Covey's blog, Brian Fuller, your own blog, and others. I empathize with your plight. It's a rapidly changing landscape, and I think we 'neo-bloggers' want to be able to add value to it, more than anything else! Thanks for reading! JMF Hi John (or Dark, as you may prefer):

It was quite a meeting, eh? Lots of information with an equal among of misunderstanding. Sorry the press made such a strong appearance, but it's a life and death issue for us. One that we've been discussing for some time now, so we tend to pick up the conversation where we last left off. Next time I come to such an event, I'll leave my press badge at the door and just participate as an engineer who likes to write. Or better yet, a "pre-blogging" blogger. (Does anyone remember Tony Perkin's Always-On Network?). :) Cheers. BTW: This is John Blyler. Hi John. It was quite a meeting, eh? Lots of information with an equal among of misunderstanding.

I think I'd expected more of an independent EDA blogger crowd, talking about how we could get the press/ marketing people to pay us any attention or take us seriously. Apparently many of them already do. All in all, a fun session, even if you got somewhat interrupted by the exodus. I was quite surprised by the large press/ marketing presence at the BoF event.

It was pretty funny, actually, and made for a good story, so think nothing of it! I do think we should do it again next year - DVCon or DAC is good for me, but DATE's a stretch. However, it might get a new mix of bloggers involved!

It was great meeting you all yesterday. What a stimulating discussion! I was glad to have been a part of this inaugural session and do agree that having more "independent" bloggers like yourself would have been a welcome addition to the conversation (and help take me off the hot seat! LOL). Additionally, I was surprised (delighted? worried?) that bloggers are now able to command press credentials at DAC and other conferences. Wow! Anyway, this morning's panel about New Media was also quite interesting, almost a continuation of our discussion from last night covering topics from organization of blog content to evolution of press releases and, of course, the state of traditional media companies. -Dave Hey John (JL, Sean, Harry and others),

Next time I'll know better! Regardless of that, I think we still ended up with a great discussion, even though we didn't perhaps get to hit on some of the things those of us who blog really cared to talk about. My take? Assuming we do this again next year we ought to perhaps set up two distinct sections of the session - the first part where we could have a panel which included the general mix of the audience discussing things (and letting the journalists blow off some steam) and then a second part focused strictly on blogging. That way, the folks who aren't interested in the mechanics can leave and we can carry on with our own discussions. Thanks again for all your help! Take care, JL John,
