Thanks Elizabeth, If anyone would like to attend the Friday night reception from 5PM - 7PM I can put you on a guest list. Registration is required for the other days but you will also get a t-shirt while supplies last. The list on the People page is amazing. I'm really looking forward to this, especially Sugar on Ubuntu since Sameer and I have a trial running with students at http://www.missionbeacon.org where we could really use a native version of Sugar on the Ubuntu desktop machines they have there already.
