Richard, I'd love to come ... if you'll pay for a flight from Chch.  The other possiblity is that people are busy at weekends this close to Christmas with end of year stuff, shopping, Christmas dinners, etc?
 
I'd be interested to know how many Delphi developers on this list are NOT based in Auckland.
 
Cheers,
 
Conor

Subject: [DUG] Delphi 8 Bug-Find-A-Thon Response

I must admit to being astounded at the distinct lack of response from people from here. I have 7 people, which is good - but these have been rounded up by Distributech (we also have one response from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Jason Saggers) - and I'm thankful for that. 
 
If Delphi is your tool of choice you have a real possibility here to affect its delivery quality. You don't need to come for the entire six hours, come for just one or two - I see people constantly complain about this or that bug - but with a chance to be proactive do you do anything? Sure you aren't getting paid to do this and you say you won't be doing .NET for years, but how many of you still write and maintain Delphi 1 applications? Quite clearly not "none", but certainly not many. You're going to be moving to .NET because Microsoft (bless their cotton socks) have said so (and it really is a far, far better environment). Even if you don't actually want to help by doing anything, even if you don't know anything about .NET, come along anyway - you'd probably learn something useful! And Delphi 8 ROCKS.
