Live blogging from the floor of the City of Austin pre-bidders conference.
Whatever Matt Esquibel is working on, I hope it’s good and I hope it meets the expectations of the large community of developers, designers, project managers, businesses, and visionaries who are waiting to put their bids into the ring. Let’s hope they get a better than 3 : 400 ratio of returns on this one.
Mostly, I’d really like Matt, Doug Matthews and Gail Roper to ramp up the AustinGO site they already have. Post updates on the blog! Fix the RSS feed! Use the tool! As it stands what’s happening is still happening behind closed doors with a new team and the community is forced to wait for the release of the new RFP.
