I'm going to suggest that the beer one is probably not going to go
over particularly well at this event :)

I'm in the middle of creating a trifold flyer about open source
educational software. What is the latest I can reasonably complete it
and have it be ready in time? I may consider either making this a
collaborative document on Google (if they have the necessary
formatting options) or sending it along to the list if anyone else
wants to work on it, as I'm up against several other deadlines right
now.

Um, we'll see. My burner is being a touch flaky.

Assuming it works - I have about 20 discs sitting around that I can
burn with whatever, and then get replaced when convenient. What are
the top priorities as far as that goes?

This should be happening. The EEE is a definite. The laptop I planned
to use is also being flaky (the joys of having old hardware!), but
there is supposedly another lying around that I can use.

I can probably be there by 8:00.
