[OLPC-SF] [support-gang] Help Activity Refresh during summit?

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi all,

now that I finally have my flights (yippie!) and saw Tabitha's 
documentation e-mail on the developer mailing lists today I thought we 
should pick this topic up again.

As I understand it now quite a few of us will already be in town by late 
Thursday so I was thinking we could try to get together before the 
opening on Friday to get some work done on this front.

I also just learned that one of the Finish volunteers who closely worked 
with the famous Sdenka Salas in Puno, Peru will be in the Bay Area for 
the Google SOC documentation camp which is taking place from Oct. 17 to 
21. Maybe we could also convince her to at least drop by on Friday or 
better yet stay for the Summit as well.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Christoph
