James McGovern asks to be engaged:

Hoarding of knowledge also comes about in that most folks in other enterprises work in walled gardens where they are not allowed to communicate with outsiders. I am the polar opposite. Would the community consider engaging in a face-to-face conversation at any of the events I plan on speaking at? You may find it interesting that I will be on a panel regarding web 2.0 at the Infoworld conference hosted by Jon Udell where I hope to represent and encourage others within the enterprise to not eschew but to embrace web 2.0.

I'd be more than happy to engage Mr. McGovern in a reasoned concersation. Other than OOPSLA, none of the events he mentions are on my radar at the moment, but if he wants to set up a panel discussion at one of those events, I'll happily look at it.
