That would be my 'fault'. The August 23on23 was promoted - including Facebook, Groups.IO, etc. but unfortunately not on this specific medium [one of the many challenges of the extremely fragmented information sharing approach today].

The next 23on23 is September 23rd, and I will be updating on that very soon!
