Post ISDC Note: We didn't fill all the slots, but perhaps 90% of them. "Aim High and Hit the Mark. We had criticism from two people who thought two tracks would have been enough. I expect the panels they would have axed were those not of interest to them personally. But it takes all kinds to make Space Real, and we wanted to touch all the bases.
