Hey Chris - should be fun; see you in a few days.

Are these bloggers being sponsored to come all the way to Vienna?

Hi Adrian - yes.  HP pays for their travel, hotel, event fee, and meals but we don't require anything from them (they are required to write anything).  Pretty cool deal for bloggers that want to get deeper with HP's technology.

Big typo in my previous comment that I want to be sure is corrected - the bloggers we bring are NOT required to write anything.
