Yes, back to the point, I do brew good beer, assuming that you like good, hearty ales of the IPA, bitter, stout variety and/or european wheat ales (I'm not a big fan of American Wheats). As for bringing some to SD that would depend on whether I am going and if I have any brew ready at the time. I normally just keg my beer and bypass the whole bottling mess, but an exception could be made to share with friends since I don't think a pressurized keg of beer is likely to go over well with the airlines. :) > > But more seriously: This might be a good opportunity to have a > Hackathon focused on getting the structure for our Forrest manual > started? You know, I find this very tempting. I would love to really be able to contribute more to the project and a face-to-face sit down would really get a manual off to a good start. I don't think I can afford to actually go to the conference itself (airfare, hotel AND the conference is a bit steep for me) but I may be able to come out for a few days and do a "Social and Expo Pass" if they offer it. I will be spending a decent chunk of money and leave time from work starting next weekend to go down to Texas to help with Katrina relief effort as a volunteer so I will have to assess the real possibility of SD once I return in October. Hopefully they will get the details about the conference posted relatively soon so I can more accurately assess what I can do. Diwaker: How is public transportation in SD? If I stay at some cheapy hotel not down by the water will I be able to get to the conference easily? > > -- > Ferdinand Soethe
