Running a jam takes 20-40 hours of planning and oversight spread among 2 or 3 people; it is primarily worth it for its capacity to inspire the participants to iterate the process. Having laptops available to play with is useful. It would be nice to have a slow fanout that starts to demand jam boxes in November, and the possibility of getting one can be a reason for organizers to plan ahead and clearly publicize their schedule and interest from participating teams.

Mel has a Jam Box spec, likely updated since Taipei -- is this a good time to test it out? Are there any customs issues that would keep us from sending a box or receiving it back?
