Editor's Notes
Talk about securid pains
Talk about source repository that needs to be chosen well for speed (not Starteam!). Must be directly accessed as much as possible for continuous integration
Talk about travels. How it “converts” people. How it enables chatting afterwards
Talk about Wiki too
Talk about video conf over internet (talk about 300 ms reponse time between France-India)
