• Raines Cohen would like to shoot a video consisting of as many of us as are willing (one by one) simply answering the question "What does community mean to you?" He may set up a place to do this, as well as shooting video in some sessions, where appropriate and with permission.
• Susan Tenby would like to invite you all to the Online Community Meetup. The event occurs every third Wednesday in San Francisco.
• Kim M. Bayne is interested in interviewing practitioners for a series of podcasts on community best practices. If you are interested, please let her know and she'll schedule something post-conference.
• Demos & Exchanges: Please note that we will have a demo and exchange session right after lunch, from 1:15 to 2:30. This is your opportunity to showcase a recent project, upcoming launch or new technology. We will have a signup sheet at registration, or you can email Bill to reserve a slot. The format will be speed geek-style, meaning the presenters will remain at their respective table, and the "audience" will shift tables every 5 minutes.
• Conference wifi is found on the open network "workshop"
