Ok, hopefully that can be discussed at the mini-conf, which I still
can't attend...good to get on the plan for the more planned one at end
of may...probably best if led from the paid OLPC staff side, right?

 Hey, folks.  I've been sick for the past two days, so I apologize for
 not doing as much mini-conference planning as I might have.
 
 We're still on for tomorrow and Friday, at 1cc, although our
 mini-conference might be somewhat scaled down from its original
 proposal -- I certainly won't be able to do as many presentations as I
 might have liked to, although I hope that the rest of you have had
 some chance to organize your thoughts in preparation, despite my
 silence.
 
 I fully support the plans for a proper *real* conference, as someone
 proposed for the end of May, but I still think this mini-conference
 will be useful.  We can't really afford to wait two months to decide
 what the 4 full-time developers at 1cc will work on, so the
 mini-conference will be useful even if it's just us 4 in a room.  I'd
 appreciate help planning a real conference for later.
 
 I'll be posting another message later with a tentative schedule for
 thurs/fri talks.  Please let me know privately (if you haven't
 already) whether you've got time constraints.  Also, I'm not certain
 I've got someone who's committed to helping out with audio/video
 recording: I'll use Record on the XO if I need to, but we all know
 what that looks like; it might not be the most pleasant to watch.
 Also I'll need to hack out Record's time limit (trac #4983).
 
 Again, my apologies for the slip-shod organization, but I hope even
 informal meetings will be useful (especially if we can post
 recordings).

No, it's actually best if we get significant community help planning
events like these.  OLPC has a very limited number of core developers
(although we'll be hiring more in the coming months) and anything that
lets them *actually code XO software* instead of doing other stuff is
Greatly Appreciated.

Just to be clear: PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ORGANIZE if you want a larger
conference in a few months.
