[Coco] Virtual CoCoFest

[John W. Linville]

Definitely nice to see presentations from several people that don't make it to live events! Probably one of your best episodes...You limited juvenile humor and inside jokes, you had a planned agenda, and you mostly kept presenters "on the clock" -- good job! Hopefully this reinforces the need for presentations at community events. Some silly folks had the impression that people weren't interested in such things.Still, not a substitute for a CoCoFEST! in my book. ;-) But I'm glad you guys had fun!John
