Hey Sandra,

Any chance you have the email of the summary of that list? I can go through the archives but I'm not sure when this discussion happened -- while I was in China (still catching up on that email!) or earlier when I might have been in hospital?

The Kinect Roundtable meeting is in a little over a week from now and many of the people on this list will be there -- attendees were chosen by Microsof. I'll defer to Brannon to provide more information about the day.
