So, you missed the Toolchain Summit, eh? I didn't get to go, either, but there are still a bunch of conferences ahead! Plan now to go! We're still getting in some reports from the Toolchain Summit, too, plus a few other goodies of news from around the net this week. My world's been a little busy, and it looks like some of the usual posters have been busy with other things, too! D Ruth Holloway
