Last weekend, I attended the San Francisco Bay Area 4th Annual Craigslist Boot Camp in my tag-along-Tom role (I have tagged along with my wife - Barbara - to all six of the past eBay Live conferences).

Barbara (http://www.linkedin.com/in/barbshaughnessy) has been a panelist at eBay Live Giving Works sessions for the past three years. The conference was held at the University of California Berkeley (figure 1) and was attended by two thousand people (Boot Campers)."
