A little more coverage from the O.C. Register. Gillian, Nick, Mo, and Nithya were all part of this too!

"Organizing an international conference takes a lot of work. But it doesn'€™t have to burn a lot of fuel -€“ provided that organizers are willing to meet by video-teleconference. That'€™s the route that UCI informatics professor Donald Patterson and 36 others took last weekend while they were ironing out the details of Pervasive 2008, a conference to be held next May in Sydney, Australia."

We used the video-teleconference facility in the TLTC (Teaching Learning and Technology Center) on campus. Special thanks to Jeff Fisher and Eric (not Andy) Coressel for some early hours. It started at 3am!
