[5:27:14 PM] Maria Knee: This year’s conference begins with a pre-conference keynote the week of November 30, 2009.

[5:28:58 PM] Durff: coincides with some equinox [5:30:32 PM] Maria Knee: lan party - in honour of Lee - a jamboree - dave's idea [5:31:41 PM] Alice Mercer: So we have two shows to fill in Summer [5:32:01 PM] Maria Knee: yes - I've noticed... [5:32:14 PM] Alice Mercer: Can I suggest prep for new year in this sense, how do we take what we've learned and done at conferences, and bring it on home?
