Being a modern sort of chap with my laptop attached as a fifth limb (like many of my fellow Lifters!) I couldn't help notice that during the more engaging or popular presentations and speakers, the Wifi connection speed went up, whereas during presentations by speakers who were perhaps not as gifted as others, or handicapped by very serious buy less entertaining subject matter, the internet connection went down -- or hit rock bottom!

So, at risk of putting a cat amongst the pigeons, wouldn't it be interesting to plot the bandwidth use during the day, against the timeline of the presentations? Giving an honest representation of Lift Attendees interest in different topics?

I'm sure the routes must have management logs that show the traffic for the last few days....?

We are working on the program for LIFT08, with the idea of finalizing a beta version around mid july (=very soon!).

If you:
• would like to propose a theme or speaker
• would like to speak yourself
• would like to give us the email address of Bill Gater or Steve Jobs, personal friends of your that we can contact on your behalf and invite to Geneva

Then email us, use the LIFT participants blog, comment on this post, whatever, but please let us know as soon as possible!
