Vern, I am not sure if you are suggesting doing *something* Friday or mean to be more specific as to dinner, evening meeting, both One idea: A more formal meeting would pretty clearly be at the conference. We could do that Friday, say 8PM. There might be discussion then of how much time to invest in heading out to dinner Saturday.

Well, I would definitely vote for dinner - those have been too much fun in past years to pass up. I personally would be up for a trip too Greektown, but it may be more time than some others have to spare.
I also think we should grab some open space time to have a (slightly) more formal gathering - we didn't do that last year, since we wanted to go to the OLPC gathering, and I, for one, missed it.
So how does Friday evening sound? It looks like we would have the most time after the day's formal activities are over. What does everyone think?
Cheers, Vern

Vern, Good thinking. In the past we have gotten together to talk over food and in a separate meeting time that does not conflict with talks.
thoughts: lunch. lunch Friday is 90 minutes. The next two days 45 minute talks overlap it by 15 minutes, so it is down to 75 minutes Going out to dinner was fun last year. could be Friday or Saturday. We have met in the evening. Saturday would be good.
A difference from last year is that we have Chicago easily accessible from the hotel! If people want to go out and see it in the evenings, and not meet at that time, then I suggest meeting for lunch Friday and maybe a pre-dinner time. Or we could all pile on the El and head to Greektown or ....
