yeah last year Harvard would only give us time for the event during break. but this time school will be in session. We are expecting a bigger turnout due to this. So we will be promoting the event more this year within Harvard and MIT.

thx matt
one of my closest friend & colleagues is the manager of platforms and IT over at the harvard business school (gary wallace)
he stopped by last year's event, and saw the poor attendance,
if jonathan can advertise on campus, and the students will be around, maybe this year will be better,
i will still give talks and we could do a mini fudcon, not sure if it will drive interest, but we can try again
thx for the help matt

Looks like it's not over Harvard's break this year at least.
I have some connections at Harvard and I can see what I can do to drum up a
little interest. ABCD
