>As a challenge for the wearable community - What would make ISWC better?

Since this will by my first year attending ISWC, please don't flame me if 
my perspective is off.   The thing I most want to see is the wearables 
people have built.  The "gadget show" is great and should be kept 
unchanged.  It would be nice, though, to also have more hacker oriented 
stuff.  Technical solutions to building wearables now, kind of stuff.  
Someone doing a tutorial on using PC/104 (specifically) for wearables.  
Wearable battery systems: what kinds of batteries and how to manage 
charging them...  that kind of stuff. 

The videos of previous conferences show scientific research type results 
and papers and that is great.  I want to see that kind of stuff too... 
but the recognition that there is a hacker community out there that is 
growing and is looking at things with a little bit more of a short term 
view would be good.

Again, this isn't a criticism- I haven't been before- but speculation on 
how I'd like to see the conference deviate from most industry conferences.

Danka-

The Melisa virus is yet another example of Microsoft putting huge 
security holes in their software so that they can get at your private 
information.  It just happens in this case, others got at it too.
