Not sure we can channel her entirely, but she did a good job of reminding people there is an obligation to share beyond the room. We’ll get a lot more logs written if we emulate Leslie Hawthorn.

Full ACK on everything. Session notes aren't just useful to remotees who can't make an event; they're useful to people who do attend but want to catch up on sessions they couldn't make (2 simultaneous talks you want to attend) and also people like me who do attend a session but can't catch everything... and really, everyone who attends but doesn't have perfect recall. I'll see what we can do about having logging be an expected part of the Toronto FUDCon - since many people will already be used to Gobby, perhaps we can set up a lightweight transcription infrastructure there (it worked fantastically for Wikimania 2006).
