I wish I could make it but I don't feel quite 'done' working on GRB data
and toolset.  I am going to redo the R&D concept site on (probably) a
Laravel/Bootstrap setup.

Behind the scenes it's pretty solid work but presentation wise it seems
to be quite non-appealing to some, as the context of it gets lost when I
ask for comments (It being R&D / WIP /  Dev / Proof of concept / Beta
status , etc , ... ), I receive comments on details but not on core
functionality.

Also, I didn't expect to have to defend my choice on putting source:*
tags into the system, some people telling me this isn't needed.

Clearly they are wrong and ignorant missing the whole point and
importance of those references , enabling us to to couple both data
sources back AND forth, now and in the future.  But I should address
those remarks and that just steals time away from doing valuable work.

It's tempting to put something together, but I'm wondering what value I
can add talking about it instead of 'doing' and getting it 'production
ready', already lacking enough time as it is.  And then a day before
SOTM, not the best moment for me either.
