Are you planning to attend?  If so, are you looking for someone else
who's attending so that they could go on your behalf or so you can get
together to plan and/or save on the trip?

Or driving to the Eastern States? ;)

So what if all the Debian fans on the list (myself included) donated a
dollar.  How much would it raise?

Also, as an aside, what's in it for us to have an attendee in person at
the conf?

Web browser ready?  Marks, set go!
