I need help in order to attend
Post what you need here and some info about your situation, and we'll start a conversation with you about what resources we can find to help.
- I need a place to crash from Friday evening (June 6) to at least Sunday (June 8) or possibly longer depending on whether I can get a day off work. ChristophD 18:23, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
- Christoph, if my housemates say it's okay, we may have a futon in the living room you can crash at. Mchua 21:56, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
- Thanks, that would be great! A futon, free wifi and the daily shower is all I really need anyway... ChristophD 23:43, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

People who should be invited
A suggestion list - add your thoughts here. Being on this list doesn't mean they will come to the event - we're not sure how much space we have yet... (Initial list by Christoph Derndorfer)
- Mike Lee who is running the OLPC Learning Club DC
- someone from the Dallas FortWorth Area XO users group to come to Boston.
- Maybe also one of the Nortel folks?
- Greg DeKonigsberg
- Benjamin Mako Hill
- support-gang members
- someone from OLPC Chicago - Sheila Miguez, someone from MVCC (Larry, Steve) or IMSA (Scott, Kevin, Jason, April-Hope)?
