Ryan, I went to the D4D camp
Ryan, I went to the D4D camp site to look for your session but I didn't see it there. Great podcast as always guys. Mike you sounded a little sleepy.

Omega
Ryan,
Thanks for the mention on the Omega base theme!!
The usage is growing well, and more and more are submitting issues towards it, and YES, the Drupal 7 version is completely rocking. I don't have any "real" sub-themes ready for it yet, however, I'm working on a new subtheme (gamma) to be included in the Omega package that will be a three color option (dark, blue, green) beautiful sub-theme that shows off the power of Drupal 7, AND the Omega base theme.
And yes, I know it is laughable, but the Omega name for the base theme was intended because it "would be the end of theming as we know it" and the Alpha sub-theme currently on my blog was the first sub-theme created and released for it. I also do have the beta and delta namespaces as well. :)
And as cool as Omega really is, it might become a fraternity soon! ;)
Thanks guys, keep up the good work!!
