For years it's been like talking to a brick wall, but after getting free passes to this year's Brainshare, and seeing Novell's enthusiasm, some of the PHB's around here are beginning to think about it. This is known as the "The people you hired to understand and manage technology should have no say in actual technology decisions -- you can only believe something (and you must believe everything) that comes from outside consultants or corporations that are completely unfamiliar with your specific technology needs" principle.
