The day the concept of conference notes changed



I was there at the 2003 O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference when SubEthaEdit was first used in a major way at a conference. It changed the way communities could form conference notes together quickly and easily. Every conference I go to I pop the laptop open hoping to find WiFi and SEE users, but alas it never happens.
The Coding Monkeys, who developed SubEthaEdit, reminisce.

However, at $35 I haven't bought a copy since they started charging for it. Maybe they could have a free 'conference' version which had simple text editing functionality (not all the fancy coding stuff) and Bonjour/Zero Config. They could promote it to all conference organisers as a back-channel tool which would, in turn, promote the full version to a wider audience.
