Stump started as an unofficial spin-off of “Stump the Experts” at Apple WWDC, which ran for many years. Since this was the 8th Stump I went with an 8-bit theme and celebrated it as the 1000th (base 2) Stump. Also new this year, Stump was a hybrid event with most people present in Denver but also a large off-site contingent on both teams.
