Well I don't know about the rest of you, but just the name gives me a sudden feeling of impending doom.

I don't see Dr. Adrian Bowyer name as an expert speaker, and a representative of users of 3d printer technology.

So all big names going in to protect themselves and make money...great, I see a great outcome for us. /sarcasm

OK, but Michael Weinberg is speaking and he is as good an advocate as any for the interests of small low-cost 3d printer builders and users.

Thanks Matt, I just had a few hours reading spree on a lot of good writings. I've actually never heard of Public Knowledge before, but now that I have I am definitely going to be reading a lot more from them. After reading about seven of his articles I think Michael Weinberg will do a good job in representing us.
