I didn't watch all the Morning Session footage, nor all of the other videos from SWW 2020, however I, (plus I'm thinking that the other SWIFT members would as well), was really hoping that the Dave Bear Story would take a few minute highlight real for what the SolidWorks International Forum Team has done, not only that for what SW and SolidBox has done as well.

If it missed being at SWW 2019, it's not too late to have this in 3D SWDEW Nashville..

I also hope that the "Dave Bear Story" was highlighted for the world to see.

It is a Great Marketing Opportunity how the community came together is such a meaningful way to support a friend we never met in person and that Dassault, along with SolidBox, stepped up to join the community support is a real way.

This story really could have been the focus of a segment of a General Session.
I hope it was and I just missed it.

  It was talked about during the SWUGN Summit, I don't recall specifically whether it made it on the big stage or not.

  As David said, I had a minute or so during the SWUGN Summit - The Dave Bear Laptop Story and the Danielle Boyer EKGAR Story were both on the slide - Due to time constraints, I was told to pick one to talk about - Since I was going to present Danielle with the SWUGLife Check for EKGAR, I talked about that.
  (I also didn't want to subject the room to the inevitable "waterworks" when I talk about what we did for Dave - I believe that I just told everyone to go to the forums to get the full story.)

Was there a mention of Richard Doyle and the fantastic contribution Richard made in the birth and grow of the SOLIDWORKS Community?

  There was a little bit said about Richard, and a slide or two in the SWUGN Summit, but, like everything else, it didn't make it any further than that.

    There was not nearly enough mention of the work Richard did. There should have been more.

    I imagine an hour would not be enough to briefly cover what Richard did for SOLIDWORKS Community.

      that would take some time. he did a lot of volunteer work with the user groups before SolidWorks brought him on.

    As Todd said up above, it was a jam packed SWUGN Summit from an agenda standpoint. Todd had Dave Bear and Danielle Boyer on his slide(s) and to avoid getting too verklempt, he chose to highlight Danielle's EKGAR Initiative, especially since he, Kam Smith and myself were heavily promoting/publicizing Danielle's efforts in the days and weeks leading up to World. During his slide intro, Todd did make a point to mention that he hoped to publicize Dave Bear's story further in the near future as part of the SWUGN committee's efforts to highlight all the good things that being a community member can entail.

  From what I understand, mentions of Richard Doyle were kept to a minimum . Rumor has it the committee spoke of some type of SWUGN honor, but that was shot down too. I'm afraid I didn't leave on the best of terms, so I'm not surprised.
  
  I received a lot of texts and emails during SWW from UG leaders and members (and some VARs, Partners, and Press) expressing either surprise or sadness. I believe the people I interacted with over the past 20 years appreciate what I accomplished, and that's good enough for me.
  
  I'm starting a new job this morning using SOLIDWORKS Desktop 2015. I still love using SOLIDWORKS as much as ever, and will continue to design and document cool things the same way I've been doing it since 1997. I hope to contribute positive things to the forums in the future, but I'll probably be an ass for a while as I work through the bitterness
  
  Would have been nice to get a perpetual seat on the way out so I could continue my Tiny House design/build, but that email wasn't even returned .
  
  Richard

    Most Definitely.
    I have only a sliver of understanding of all that you accomplished at Dassault, and that little bit had tremendous impact for me.
    I thank you and I appreciate you Richard.

    Congratulations!
    This, of course, will make it just a bit harder to face you at the poker tables. Hopefully you can make it to one of our ARGE poker events.
    Second order of business at you new job. Get them to upgrade to SW2019. (first order, locate the coffee machine and bathroom)

    I remember at a SWW when Richard noticed I was the first person at the door for the General Session. He made a really big deal of it and made me feel like one in a million. I will never meet another person like him. Not sure where SWUGN would be without all of his hard work and passion.

    Richard you were definitely missed and you were mentioned a lot in various conversations. And you will not be quickly forgotten for making all of us feel at home in the SWUGN community.
    
    When I started to get involved with SWUGN it felt like you were the official SWW greeter. In Anaheim, as I walked in the door on Sunday morning - you were right there. You pulled both Joe Lance and I aside – cracked a joke - handed us our SWUGN ribbons and gave us the scoop for Wednesday’s General Session (my first one as a group leader) – even before I registered.
    
    Keep up the good work in your new job – you will do great! Give us some details when you get a chance. CSS
