I said fun should be the main reason, not the only reason. There'll be coding, there'll be planning, there'll be brainstorming, possibly even some sessions, but I don't think we should take ourselves too seriously. Maybe other people have a different idea about the pulling power of a Habari gathering, but I don't imagine there are going to be hundreds of people turning up. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
