Who’s going to E2EF on acidlabs?

Well, I didn’t get a huge number of entries for the free pass to the Enterprise 2.0 Executive Forum in Sydney on 19 February, but those we got were pretty good and sometimes funny. I’ve decided that the winner is Jodie Miners. Here’s her entry (submitted via Twitter):
