Can you imagine I'm Canadian and haven't visited my home country in well over a year?  2 years indoors is enough.  Back to the Wilderness.  Do join if you can -- Buffalo flights are always dirt cheap compared to Toronto:

My goal is to ask ppl how we should grow the OLPC/Sugar movement.  And to make sure it's not a Red Hat conspiracy (hahah, joke!!) I'm inviting all my Toronto-area CS professor friends as well, who know some of the participants here...

(And yes, as usual this is a Paid-for-by-Poor-Holt event, so I might also be able to pick up a few Rochester folks by car on my way from Boston--let me know those of you who welcomed me there earlier--then again once you see my car you prob WoN't want to ride in it ;-)

Would like to go.  Don’t know if I can go or not as I’ll have had to deliver a paper in San Antonio 10 days earlier.  Need to discuss with department chair and wife.  May encourage students to go with or without me.

As I understand the format will be barcamp style, so if a group of students past or present would like to present at TOS, I'd be happy to drive them up or coordinate space with others heading that way.

PS, If I don't make it to class today, I'll be on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-olpc
