flvegan, LeftyMom, Elad, I'm looking at you. Not to neglect anyone else, mind you.

1. I like that they've opened this up to anyone "with a story"

or a topic upon which they have expertise. Granted, it might be a nightmare for a handful of folks that have never done this before.

Both Matt Ball and Paul Shapiro (post COK days) are good to hear speak. Very inspirational.

I'll think about it. Been a few years since I've done this. Thanks for the heads up.

In the meantime, I'll be happy to promote it to the few folks I know in that area.

2. Are you going? Definitely go listen to whatever Colleen has to say, she's awesome.

Much as I love Minneapolis (and I totally do!) I'm already registered for AR'08 in DC and I don't know that my pocketbook can really handle both.

Anybody else going to DC?

[Ellen Forradalom]

3. Actually, I know about this because organizer Dave Rolsky

is a familiar and well-respected in the Perl programming community, which I am part of.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

4. There are a bunch of friendly DUers in Minneapolis

Maybe we can have a gathering. There's a good centrally located vegetarian/vegan Indian restaurant a brief bus ride from downtown.

5. I've sent this to my friend Steve Kaufman, who is a really find speaker

and passionate about this issue, from a religious perspective.
