A lot of it is still in the works (and we'll need help, so pitch in!)
but its a plan nevertheless and we are going ahead with it. The
organizing committee is: Hilary Naylor, Elizabeth Krumbach, Grant
Bowman, Carol Ruth Silver and myself. Elizabeth are taking care of the
web stuff. Grant is doing, outreach via identica, facebook, lists etc.
Hilary is the sessions person. Carol Ruth Silver is managing outreach
with specific groups. I am arranging the space, etc. Please help this
team get things off the ground and get it moving. Make it your own and
run with it.

As for free beer, we may have to look for a local brewery to drop in a
few kegs maybe? ;-)
