| the passionate questioning he would come up against when he gave his talk, 
| the last for the day, at a mini-conference titled "The Business of Open

| three years and someone who has been involved in local IT
| for some time, it is probably some kind of natural fit for
| her.
|
| "Being based down here (Hobart) it is much easier to meet
| people face to face and develop personal relationships with
| those you're doing business with," she says.
