</div>A lot of it is still in the works (and we'll need help, so pitch in!)<br>
but its a plan nevertheless and we are going ahead with it. The<br>
organizing committee is: Hilary Naylor, Elizabeth Krumbach, Grant<br>
Bowman, Carol Ruth Silver and myself. Elizabeth are taking care of the<br>
web stuff. Grant is doing, outreach via identica, facebook, lists etc.<br>
Hilary is the sessions person. Carol Ruth Silver is managing outreach<br>
with specific groups. I am arranging the space, etc. Please help this<br>
team get things off the ground and get it moving. Make it your own and<br>
run with it.<br>
<br>
As for free beer, we may have to look for a local brewery to drop in a<br>
few kegs maybe? ;-)<br>
