I hope the community can start the convers= ation now and then tee up some areas to dig into deeper when people are fac= e-to-face in Dublin (those who can make it anyway.) And of course if people= aren't going to Dublin this is an easy path to be heard and contribute to = the discussion. I hope that helps.
