Re: Announcing GuruFest: Come hear from OLPC experts, kicking off this Friday with Mel Chua

Good point, David. In this particular case, there'll be opportunities for
remote participation for people who aren't in the Boston area - I almost
never give a talk these days without some sort of IRC backchannel. In this
case, I'll make sure a computer is open and on #olpc-meeting so that (my
nick is mchua).

I'm hoping to make as many of the other Gurufests as possible - if I'm
there, there'll be an IRC backchannel. ;) If I'm not there, I hope there'll
be one anyway.

How about also putting it up on a justin.tv channel?

when sending out announcemnts like this, please remember that this is an 
international mailing list, and most people won't know where the places 
are.

this announcement was better than most because it included a link to the 
school, but if you could include a few details (country, state, city for 
ecample) it would be helpful to allow people to filter out the ones that 
aren't near enough for them to attend.
