Thanks Andi:
With many people now confirming to me they're buying their "1st week of 
May" flights to Uruguay, this Friday will be a really great chance for 
all of us to catch up on our global community's _1st ever major summit 
in the Southern Hemisphere:_

     http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Uruguay_Summit_2011
     http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Conozco_Uruguay_Tour

Even if all these great folk weren't in fact joining us Friday: (they are!)

     Mike Lee flying up from DC
     OLPC France's graphic designer (JP) driving down from Montreal
     olpcMAP founder visiting from NH
     Museum of Science Computer Clubhouse program coordinator

HOT RUMOR: Uruguay's Ceibal Jam hopes to open up official event 
registration very soon now.  Some select people will even get in FREE -- 
the only question left is who, who, who!  Will it be Free Tickets for...

Kids?  Women??  Python coders???  OLPC Regional Chapters/Sugar Local 
Labs founders????  Google/Microsoft employees with FSF stickers 
on-laptop?????  People who register for the summit using an actual 
XO??????  Folks who cross register for the Apr 30 - May 5 Uruguay 
Education Exploration Tour???????  Or perhaps true South Americans, who 
arrive Che-style by motorcycle????????  Keep your eye on the summit site 
in coming days to find out!
