All teasing aside, I would like to have seen low-level kernel and 'platform developers' be a part of the proto program too.

I am also completely serious when I say I really wish fanoush and penguinbait could have been at the Summit; the event was, in my opinion, poorer without them.

Both of you are kind of "legendary hacker heroes" to me and, I'm sure a large portion of the 'old community' out there.
