On this note, I heard a few camera clicks during the presentation. 
Please be respectful with these and get permission from the speaker if 
you wish to post them etc.

Regarding the controversial nature of the talk, it remains the best open 
hardware and open source/public domain licensing talks I have ever 
heard. The speaker explicitly said that she will not discuss politics 
and I will not address the other possible topics emotionally projected 
upon this one.

When Jeri Ellsworth spoke, her talk was not about open source but 
happened to be one of the best, most-attended PLUG talks in PLUG's 
history though it did address reverse engineering, hardware hacking and 
singed eyebrows.

Given that the subject was clear in the announcement, one should avoid 
any and all talks that one might not enjoy and must step up and deliver 
talks that do a significantly better job of addressing the subjects.

Either way, a full refund of all membership dues paid from the original 
date of membership is always available to dissatisfied PLUG members.
