  “ It was a great forum. I wish there was more time for questions afterwards. It was a quick intro to a handful of open source CMS. Very informative. ”
- Bradley Green
  
  “ I was hoping the presentations would get down more into the "weeds," as it were of the differences between the different CMS programs that were discussed. I didn't get the side-by-side comparisions of the different programs that I was hoping for. Still, it was helpful as far as it went. And it was certainly a great idea. ”
