I know some of that went on, yes, and certainly if I'm more formally
involved, I'll be querying the SMOFlist to see who ran things at the
last 5 or so.
My bet is that none of them *had* a formal CTO/Ops person full time.
(Though of course, now that I've said that, those people will pop up
here, saying "you talkin' to *me*??" :-)

My understanding was that Dragon *took its main feed* for the Hugos via
Ustream, and the entire room got left standing; no?
