Deepak,
	it may help that we had a conversation in TSC about how we could have 1
to 1 sessions between the TSC and each tech leads at the next Connect,
how we can schedule that in.  The problem is that it's time consuming,
but I'm wondering if Monday morning is TSC 1 to 1 day.

	Based on the feedback from the last connect, we tried to maximise the
hacking time.  Maybe that meant that the TSC 1 to 1 sessions got dropped.

Dave

ps I'm partial to a good rant from time to time.
