You're it! No take-backs! =)

There really isn't much to it beyond updating the page on the conference
site, running devinabox shortly before the sprints and bringing it either
on a flash drive and/or CD (to spare the network the load and to give
people coverage results over the whole stdlib), tell people to read the
devguide, and be there to answer questions (e.g. "go talk to him as it's
his code" or "try doing it this way"). Bonus points if you bring blank
contributor forms, collect them, and get them to the right person in the
end.
