I think I hadn't completely understood that your focus was really on where the vendors stood - so yeah, what the vendors have to say is pretty important. Thanks much for getting this going.

We intentionally invited predominantly vendors with a few nonprofits/open source/nonprofit vendor voices to focus on where we believe the main issue lies: Where do some of the major vendors in the field stand vis a vis open APIs? Out intent was to put the light squarely on them with smart and articulate voices from the nonprofit sector (Peter Campbell and Zack Rosen as well as Mark Bogliani) asking them questions. Ther was no parity because we wanted to know where those vendors stand, and I think we accomplished this. I hope that you all -- on the nonprofit and smaller provider side are continuing to chime in now, with blog posts and reponses (send 150 words to us at bonnie [at] nten dot org for inclusion in the newsletter and the Open API Roundup on the blogs. And then we'll do round two -- the follow-up conversation... Katrin Michelle- Great summary.
