I sat in on the session and was impressed with how it went. He had an
example package for people to download and walked people through

The logs are online, I'd encourage anyone interested in packaging to
walk through the steps that norsetto outlines to get familiar to

This is fantastic. When you have the program going just let us know
and I'll be sure to add it to our list of resources.
