-I think there is much value, and interesting discussion to be had on this
-topic. Naturally, it follows the theme of my CVu column.\\
-\\
-I will invite the panel members to give some (pretty short) presentations
-on the themes of "better" software or "better programmers", and how to attain
-this state. It'll be interesting to see a number of different viewpoints on
-the topic.\\
-\\
-From here, depending on time, I will open the session up to more of a panel
-format, to dig into themes that arise from the presentations, take questions
-from the floor, and/or dig into the main topic with a number of pre-prepared
-questions for the panel that I have ready.\\
-\\
-I'd aim to come up with a series of specific practical advice from each
-presentation/the discussion that attendees can go away with. Guaranteed
-value!\\
-\\
-I can see this being a very practical, and entertaining, session.\\
-\\
-Obviously, at the proposal state, I haven't asked any panel members, but there
-are not shortage of people who will likely already be at the conference who
-would gladly lend their voices to this discussion.\\
-\\
-If you like this idea, I will craft a more website-friendly version of
-this proposal for publication.\\

 Ewan: I prefer this to Pete's iOS one. Yes\\

+Jon: Pete adds - If you like this idea, I will craft a more website-friendly version of this proposal for publication.\\
