After having attended too many conferences where the attitude is all about presenting it is very, very nice to be at a conference which emphasis discussion. In addition to this I have been able to present my own paper yesterday so today my focus is on listening to, and discussing with, others. The general â??feelingâ?? of the IFIP-TC9 is friendly and the members are really interested in the issues that are the focus of the conference.
Besides receiving probing questions on my own presentation I have listed to presentations by many of the people I read. In addition to this I have had the opportunity discuss informally with lots of interesting people.
