Everything can be published on websites. No need for conferences anymore.
Please reread the thread above and you see i responded like 'come to the ug
conference' to a DUTCH Vo-developer.No need for him to have week off to
visit this conference.

Rubish. I am not about the way Grafx handles business.
Like everyone else SDN members are interested in the VO future so if I can
invite Robert to tell and show us all about VO 2.8 I think it is great.

That's not under discussion. Given that Robert is local to you I would
have expected nothing less. In fact for Robert to not attend would have
screamed volumes. However, VO is a commercial product with an
international audience. A large number of people base their commercial
and professional lives on the product. When something as significant as
a new version and feature set is imminent, it is just normal and
expected that such details would be widely advertised.

It is just so bizarre that Brian feels the need for secrecy on such
things and it leaves most people with a vacant pit in their stomachs
wondering about the product and its management where it's owner refuses
to speak publicly about it. Makes you wonder openly about the
professionalism behind the product.

Brian has his reasons not to publish the list until he is sure that
everything on that list can make it on the product or whatever reason.
You , I and everybody else can have his/her own opinion on that. But Grafrx
is not a democratic parlement where votes count
It is Brian who has to run his business.
