I'd like to throw in this thought. I've been to each mid-cycle since
San Antonino. My experience with them has been extremely variable but
the chance to be in the _same_ room as the people I talk to daily is
invaluable. I think my boss calls it the "hallway track" is more
important then anything for me. Not to mention the ability to get a
beverage after the official meeting time and come to a conclusion.
(This has happened more often then anything for me.)

It's great that we are trying to get people that can't travel involved
but the harsh reality of it is that no matter what we do they will
still miss out on some of the conversations.
