Our panel could have easily gone another 45 minutes, as Jake mentioned. It was just starting to get rolling when we ran out of time.

Don't be discouraged by one person who didn't understand what the panel was about. It was pretty clear it was about monetizing WordPress. Not monetizing blogs, but monetizing the WordPress platform itself via products and services.

It was clear from the questions that people did ask during the panel that most of those in attendance DID get it.

Doing a tavern version of the panel sounds like a great idea. I'm available whenever you want to do it again.
