Now that we've seen 20 messages describing the window contest, book
selling, lack of dark beer, and hospitality suite analysis comparable
to the best of CNN Gulf War reporting, I'd be interested to read about
the technical aspects.

Would anyone care to summarize some of the best talks and papers?
Bear in mind, most readers don't have the proceedings yet.  Someone
already asked if they are on-line, but I saw no answer.  Perhaps
individuals could post where their papers are.

Perhaps we could start pushing the technical aspects of these
conferences a little harder.  How about naming a "Best Paper" in each
conference?  Maybe in 3 months (to give everyone time to receive and
read the proceedings) we can survey for this honor?
