I think it would be a good idea.  Next Tuesday or next Thursday are
good for me.  How about others?

Cool :)

It seems to me that we have (at least) three moderately pressing
needs:

- registration status
- sponsorship
- keynotes

The former I really would like to Not Be My Problem.  I'm willing to
do work on the admin side of the sponsorship side stuff, but don't
want to be the one bugging companies to say "please sponsor us!".

The third definitely is within my area of concern.  Guido will give a
key note again.  Who will give the other one?  There was talk of Tim
Berners-Lee -- has anyone asked him about it?  Can we afford him?
Here at the ACCU conference there are any number of people who might
make good keynoters, but I haven't actually asked anyone.  How many
keynotes do we want?  Etc.

We should talk about all these things in the meeting.

Cheers,
mwh
