I wonder, though – was there also a Blackboard booth? That would have been hilarious to put them next to each other….

I unfortunately didn't get to spend any time in the vendor area, so I wasn't able to. <br /><br />I saw people with another shirt, as well: 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they sue you, then you win.' Yes, that’s the one — although the text was really more of an EduGeek green than the yellowish color in the photo.

Sorry, Matt! I unfortunately didn’t get to spend any time in the vendor area, so I wasn’t able to.

I saw people with another shirt, as well: ‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they sue you, then you win.’

Sakai was one of the vendors represented at the ITC E-Learning conference I attended a couple of weeks ago. They gave out shirts that said ‘Sakai: Supporting innovation — not suing it.’

I think Desire2Learn was there, too, but I didn’t see anyone from Moodle.
