Holy schnikes! I didn't even notice this!

I was looking through the Lotusphere information page just now, you know, the one I skipped over and didn't read and went straight to the registration page. There are some mighty big changes for Lotusphere 2008 according to the page:

• No dining assignments! (Sweet!)
• Two, count them, two Opening General Sessions
• An "alternate" keynote on Monday.
  
• QuickStart sessions
• Sandals! (Got that one off the registration page)
• The Industry Salon will have a guest speaker....Industry Salon? Guest speaker?
  

Wow! A lot of changes are in store! I'm sure we'll hear more as the date gets closer.
