Matts (email not shown publicly) I work for MessageLabs [messagelabs.com] in Toronto, ON, Canada. I write spam filters, MTA software, high performance network software, string matching algorithms, and other cool stuff mostly in Perl and C.
Why do people feel the need to give us what basically amounted to a commercial project talk over lunch? There are better times/places. And at $40 a meal I'd prefer to spend it talking to friends.
I had a feeling that's what it was going to be. Fortunately I'd finished eating before 1, so I went in and got my remaining vendor stamps in the exhibit hall so I could get my free O'Reilly books. Never did find the Daemonnews booth, though.
My organization is knee-deep in RealNetworks, so I found the talk extremely useful. I supposed if I had already read the press releases, then maybe I'd feel the same.
And yet, I too remember the OpenOffice hype of last year, using a similar license. Where's that energy now? Will this Helix stuff fade out the same way?

The Open Office hype was 2 years ago, and I now use it as my primary word processor. It also looks like Helix license is not as open as Open Office's.
