But you do work at Sun, and Sun benefits from Solaris adoption...
Alright, not going there. I appreciate your non-paid efforts. :)

That's very nice of your manager doing that. My manager would never
do that. What's the chance of your manager eating the cost of a
recording/transcript then?

Sarcastic, but makes sense.

I don't want to attend; I want to know what was said.

Not interested. I can barely get together with my existing friends.


Ok. I was a bit demanding, flippant even. I'm sorry I upset you and I
want to make sure you know that I appreciate your efforts for the
OpenSolaris community.

Taking a step back, though, I see that the Local User Group concept
is showing its age in the tiny digital flat world we live in.
