Talking with several other (largely lurker) members of OpenDTV at lunch, I had
an idea -- take up a collection so that Bert could visit NAB this year -- that
was enhanced and extended (twas ever thus) by several of the Snell folk.
Why not take up a collection to sponsor Bert's attendance at NAB, and make him
the guest of honor at a "roast."
Not only would Mr. Manfredi have an opportunity to see the show and talk
technology with others similarly situated, but many of us would have the
opportunity to meet Bert and each other, and we would likely draw an OpenDTV
crowd beyond the "usual suspects."
My intention is "all good" with this, and I trust that the intentions of my
cohorts was the same.
I realize the same could be directed to me, but I have appeared at several
industry events even in recent years.
It would give people more interested in face to face an interaction to see if
and how well Bert can do it live. All are liekly to learn something.

P.S. My idea was the initial collection to get him to NAB.
