Dear Hulu and Ms. Song, So exciting that you will be in New York! We are so happy!
Subscribing to the OS list is "self registration" like "self organizing". :-) Here is the direct link to do this, to provide email and to establish a password of your choice. http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org If you run into any problems here is Harold Shinsato's email. I'm sure he could help if you run into any problems. [email protected] Safe travel to America. Look forward to seeing you both again very very much!
