Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, but when is it the role of an organization
that has never had to earn a dollar in the business world, to host any
symposium that involves business and competition? For those of us
struggling to earn a $100 here or there with own money, without having
a big trough of tax dollars to live off of, it is insulting for SEI
to be offering this symposium, unless they retitled it:
How to have a competitive edge using tons of taxpayers dollars.
Geesh, they still haven't apologized for the business nonsense they
contributed to the Mosemann studies of Ada and C++. If you go, watch
your wallets closely.

1. The 'trough', as you like to call it, is small enough and desirable
enough that it is competed for. Those who eat often and well have
developed a competitive edge.
2. Even DoD business is business.
