All of Squeak Central (except for Ted who, with Cynthia, just had triplets!) will be at ECOOP.
Most of us will arrive Wednesday and depart on Sunday.

I don't get in until around 7pm on Wed (and that's assuming numerous connections all go well), but if there were a plan to gather at some convenient spot around 9, I would try to be there.  Scott and John arrive earlier, so perhaps they, or some of our European Squeakers, could make a plan, once they are at the conference.

We have not made any formal plans for a BOF, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a room and a time that will work for most of us.  I think any needs for a larger forum should be pretty well met by Alan's talk Thursday evening.
