Peter, that's a good point and I think Tim McGeary will be able to cover
the high-points that you mention, and perhaps some others, in his initial
welcoming remarks. But if someone wants to provide a more in-depth and/or
personal introduction to the conference that would be welcome too, although
it will be easiest to accommodate it in the ways I suggested (which could
possibly be a lightning talk as part of the first day's intro if Tim is
willing).
