Metting Justin, Daniel and Theo

[Jeff Chan <je...@surbl.org>]

It was fun to meet Justin, Daniel and Theo at the CEAS conference
along with several others including Dan Kohn of Habeas.  It was
kind of funny watching the three of them coding and building
while the talks were going on as a contrast between people
selling things, explaining minutia of research, etc. while busy
developers were actually working.  Of course they popped their
heads up with pithy and knowing questions at appropriate times,
proving they could apparently comprehend most of the goings on
just fine as a background process....

The conference itself was pretty good, covering a range of
topics including legal approaches to spam, classification
schemes, payment for mail, user attitudes, some practical topics,
research into social networking, etc.  Though most of the talks
were very brief at 10 to 20 minutes, many people followed along
with the papers on CDROM. (Maybe someday someone will set up a
wireless network and a web server?????)  In a way, the breadth of
topics was refreshing, in other ways it could perhaps seem to
lack focus.  But there were some interesting and though-provoking
ideas raised and challenged.

OK so maybe Justin wasn't busy hacking.  His notes on the talks
are pretty extensive:
