Yes, many of the EFH founders have participated in EFF-Austin events. Steve Ryan, one of the EFH founders, spoke last week at HoHoCon (as did myself, Jim McCoy and Jeremy Porter.) I think the program is an excellent idea, and will be getting feedback from attendees with an eye to doing something similar here at some point. Doug
