Example of how we lose (fwd)

[Joe Mabel]

Seems to me if we take our middle name seriously (Seattle COMMUNITY Network) conference software should be a pretty high priority.

While I like the idea of a conference software, my input would be that it
is not a top priority item.  So it would be difficult to justify the
effort.  

However,

If the plan to revive volunteers is successful, we might begin to get the
first priority stuff done. Then we could look at second and third priority
tasks.
