I think that Susan has a point, and to make a more specific observation, the de-emphasis of the AR System as a development platform, making BMC's defacto focus on it just being a willing and able container for the ITSM/CMDB, has led to less custom work going on these days. This in turn leads to fewer people able to talk about innovative things they're doing, because it's increasingly out of the mainstream that it once would have been in the middle of. Not to say that there isn't custom work, it's just that privacy concerns are probably keeping most govt. apps private, and most private entities are going ITIL/ITSM these days, because that's all that BMC sells to them.
Not necessarily blaming BMC for that, just saying that this is a foreseeable byproduct of their product direction, exacerbated by the fact that many of us are neck deep in trying to figure out what the **** BMC was thinking in some of the feature decisions with ITSM. Maybe THAT would be a good breakout - Gap analysis between ITSM 7.0.2delivered functionality and what customers are actually wanting it to do, both raising awareness for prospective customers and giving some ideas for bridging those gaps for both future and present deployers of the apps.

** David, Maybe there is an unspoken message that bmc should be listening too. There generally is no lack of submissions by non-host presenters. Since the advent of the various version 7 products there has been an aura around Remedy that is disconcerting to some degree. Last year we gathered over a 100 topics of interest. This year few if any topics were suggested here. That in itself is very unusual. Thoughts to mull over ....
