Hi Don,

that was quite long for a sales pitch. I would have preferred to share a
drink with you in Toronto; and to see your gadget / play with it, rather
than hear/read a description.

What would add value to me is if the firmware/software was open sourced
and geeks like me could easily fiddle with it. I am the initiant of the
participation of hugin/panotools to the Google Summer of Code. We are
now in our second year. Open source software adds value to your hardware
as it unleash the user's power to invent new application and thus
generates more demand for your hardware.

I will be at the meeting.

If there is interest, I can show:
* hugin
* PTviewerME2 (spherical panos on the average cell phone)

and talk about how Google and Nodal Ninja sponsor panorama software
development.

never tried the gigapan, but I recently stitched my first gigapixel
panorama with hugin. It can be seen in a screenshot at
<http://panospace.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/gnome-is-too-big-indeed/> -
click on the screenshot to enlarge. The article itself is not really
relevant to this forum.

but yes, I can talk about that gigapixel panorama as well, if there is
interest.

I can talk. sometimes too much :-) That's why I need a beer.
