Or maybe not so off list. Oops.

In any case, we're still settling on a location for the event, and
having someone local and willing to do the legwork/recieve gear/do
setup/talk to venues/... is important.

I live nearby and was considering attending BSDCan this year. How many
people do we think might be in the city around that time and interested in
a get-together? I think I count 3 or 4 at the moment.

There seemed to have been some interest about Plan 9 on Twitter among the
BSDCan groups when I did a post about it. I wonder if we they would mind
some non-BSD talks, BoF sessions at the conference itself? I think that the
call for papers deadline is in late January.

Cheers,
Chris

..How close to Ottawa are you?  The University of Ottawa may actually
not be a bad venue for holding the "official" iwp9/hackathon.  Or
maybe one of the other Canadian universities, like McGill.

(Universities tend to be relatively cheap, and also sometimes have the
student housing available cheaply over the summer.)
