Sorry for the late response. But yes, as Robert have mentioned it would be preferable to have this started before the summit. I am working out the logistics on my end so I can join in person vs on-line. There were a couple of places suggested but I have not looked into them. It would be a great help Robert if you can arrange that as I am not very familiar with the downtown area. Thank you!<br>

Cherry was planning on organizing a documentation sprint. We had a brief discussion last Saturday about this and she definitely did not want it to interfere with the Community Summit sessions. I was going to suggest Friday Oct 21st before registration for the OLPC-SF Community Summit if that is okay with Cherry. A meeting place would be required for this. Depending on how many people are involved and what I have on my schedule, I may be able to help with finding a location for this if a room is not available before registration opens.<br>
<br>
Cherry what do you think?<br>

Maybe we could also convince her to at least drop by on Friday or better yet stay for the Summit as well.<br>
