>From the chatter Thursday night, seems like everyone's got their lines memorized. Chirp in here if you've got anything to share for plans up to Thursday night or so. I'll be heading east at least once on Saturday (tomorrow) to the ConCom meeting; departing my place around noon for a 'open at 1pm, starts at 2pm' final meeting before the convention. Got room for 5, 6 if 2 of the 5 agree, and got 3 seats filled. Don't think there's anybody else who has a good reason to want to go, but, hey, if you're interested in spending the year planning a Convention next year, you're welcome to come and observe the chaos; if you hang around long enough, they get you doing stuff. Me, I'm going for a few reasons. Still need details on our internet access; power is what we get from the plugs around the perimeter; there's no socco electrical guy to make us Big Boxes OF DOOM(tm) this year. 2pm Friday is when we can start setting up; hopefully, we're ready by 6pm for someone who needs some space (I'm not sure how many seats; I haven't seen him, and the Tech lead won't be at the concom meeting (but I bcc'd him on this mailing so he might get back to me). We get to start tearing down at noon, and again, hopefully will be done in time for 3pm's closing ceremonies. Spend your whuffies as you get them; get them as you work! I'm still waiting for a reply from registration about who has their reg paid for already, and confirming the registrations from last year. If there's any other info anyone needs as far as the Lounge goes, let me know, and I'll do my best to get it. Should be back around 5, and then I'll probably head east AGAIN for the Ubuntu launch party in Ypsi at 7pm. It'll last a few hours; it's a noisy version of our meetings, more or less. :) Anybody interested in heading out there en masse, lemme know. And then..the weekend is (avoiding) gardening. :) -- Peter Smith <a href="mailto:psmith.gllug@gmail.com">psmith.gllug@gmail.com</a>
