Actually, they are very HAL oriented, but they asked me to do this talk (and some other people), so I agreed. If I'm going to do it, I'd like people to know about it so that I won't end up sitting there by myself for 30 minutes and wasting time.
I'm sure that they are doing this to get exposure, since they know that those of us who are going to do the chats want to get some people to show up and therefore will talk about it in other places. But that's business I guess. I just know that I'm committed to do this thing and I'd like to actually have some folks show up.
If CocoonTech wants to do something similar, I'd be happy to do it and I'm sure I'd tell people I'm going to be doing it on other sites.
