Well, management is us, it would be great if you want to coordinate
staff times, at the moment it's a booth with a table, we need to be at
it. There is no Libo track, so it's not like we are arranging arrival
for 10 people.

My plan at this moment is to be there all day every day and stay at the
hotel where the show it. It would be nice to catch a few sessions, if
you are going to be there the whole time then this is the same with you,
if you have a particular presentation track you want to participate in
then we can work out booth time. The schedule I think is out and up on
the SCALE site.

It would be good to pick a day for a lunch / meetup for anyone that is
interested - it's getting about time to maybe pick a day for that, after
that it is really a case of just sending announcements to the user
mailing list about where and when, do the same with identi.ca/twitter.

There was a possibility of getting a developer to give a presentation at
the event, that doesn't really look like it is going to happen.

It would help to have a grid on the wiki with days and names I would be
happy to create that.

Why would you not be able to assist? Only if you decide not to come.

If you have ideas for things to do or questions on anything put them to
the list, really that was the reason for this email to get the actual
coordination going.

Anyone can, sorry I thought you where in LA already - missed that you
where traveling in also.

Thanks
