<topPost /> Thanks David, you have an overlaod of content here to discuss. I think the best thing for moving forward is to just pick one thread and push on that from your end and make proposal to participate in the take-a-way festival.
While brainstorming is good, if there are too many details than nothing can be accomplished. So, I would recommend to just do one thing well and propose that.
