I missed Professor Stephens' OPAL talk, but I have done other OPAL events, and I found them good learning experiences and affordable (hey, you can't beat free, and for Professor Stephens' event, I am sure glad they have that archive). As much as I respect Mr. Tennant, I can't help but wonder how this would be substantially different from the talk Professor Stephens gave for OPAL. Like you mention, a lot of the information are things one can find online with a bit of patience and effort. Also, since much of this information is "out there," how much of this overlaps or becomes redundant? Just a thought. Best, and keep on blogging.
