[backstage] Tom and Matt - thanks
Dear all Before we all get too stuck into DRMagain. Can i just extend my thanks to Matt and Tom for the past weekend. I sat Matt yesterday. He was exhausted. He didn't even mind me teasing him about his appalling Djing. Ian was so tired he was watching Jekyll to relax. Hack Day was an incredible success (from all of the feedback I've now hoovered up) and these two (and many of their colleagues from Yahoo/BBC and Alexandra Palace) have been working on it for nearly six months. Above and beyond the call of duty. Well done sirs. I don't know how you pulled it off but you did. You deserve much kudos. And thanks to everyone who contributed to. I'll never forget on Saturday morning looking up to the roof of Alexandra Palace, hearing an abominable noise and genuinely thinking aliens were invading until my dying days.

Hear hear I really enjoyed it and thanks so much to Matt personally for lending us his video camera for our Real Life/Second Life hack which was a lot of fun and we just ran out of time. It was also a shame we didn't do more with the BBC apis specifically, but I really enjoyed hacking for a whole weekend and meeting some new people.

Jem (and other people who I've seen do the same thing on this list), You created this message by replying to a message in the DRM thread and changing the subject. Unfortunately, this means that your mail still contains a References header that links it to the original DRM thread. Therefore modern mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird) that support a threaded view will show your mail deep within the original thread, not as a new topic as you intended. It's also possible (maybe even likely!) that someone has set their mail program to ignore the DRM thread. And they won't see your mail at all. Which would be a shame as it's an important message. So, please everyone, if you're sending a message to this (or, indeed, any) mailing list that starts a new discussion topic, do it by sending a new message, not by replyng to an existing one and changing the subject. I've deliberately made this a new topic, so it should start a new thread and not get lost in the (no doubt vitally important) DRM discussion. Cheers, Dave... p.s. Totally agree with the sentiments of your mail. Hack Day was fabulous. Much kudos to all of the organisers. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
