Hi Jean,

Well as it happens the SCALE organizers specifically invited LibreOffice
to the event and will again supply a booth. An acceptance email has been
sent - so it's time to start planning the show.

The dates are Feb. 25-27, 2011.

The call for papers is currently underway [1]

A few folks have said they will be there and are willing to help in the
booth, Joyce and I will fly out to attend. 

I had kind of hoped to push this email to the new mailing list as a
silly jester to open it..*smile*..but as they say, the best made plans.

Drew
