recommend signing up now:<br>

The hack day is July 16 (2 days after the chipy meeting) and it looks<br>
like it might run out of space. Be sure to jot down an idea or two<br>
because on another mailing I'm on it was announced that when they run<br>
out of space they will pick attendees by the best ideas.<br>
