Developers,
It's just* three weeks *from tomorrow that many of us will be flying or
driving to Pittsburgh for the R:BASE Conference. Watch the news tonight, and
you're sure to see some shots of that beautiful city, where the G-20
Economic Summit began today. It's a world-class city, for sure. If you
haven't registered or made reservations,

Razzak and RBTI have *compressed the conference schedule *this year, in
response to developers who are having a harder time than usual getting time
off from work, and travel funds from employers. There won't be any official
activities until Saturday morning, October, 17, (no reception Friday night),
and the conference will end on Sunday at 5:00pm. The banquet will be
Saturday night this year, rather than Sunday. Adjust your travel plans
accordingly!

Who is willing to help with some of the other details?

We need one or two volunteers to manage the "*Project Bundle Up*" charity
collection and enforcement of fines when necessary (for example when your
cell phone makes noise during sessions, or you make references to
professional or college sports events or teams.) Anyone with time to start
early can watch this email list for example, for Karen Tellef talking about
Dah Bears, or similar outbursts, and can try to shame her/them into making
an appropriate donation to the charity that provides winter wear to
thousands of poor people in the Pittsburgh area every year.

We need a volunteer *photographer *and one or more volunteer *bloggers *to
share some of the fun with people who had to stay home that
weekend. Volunteer to me privately, or here on the list.

Who wants to *golf?* Friday afternoon looks like an opportunity, and because
there is no RBTI reception Friday night, we could golf starting as late as
2:00pm Friday afternoon. Let me know, and I'll make tee time arrangements at
one of the courses we have played that are convenient to the Courtyard by
Marriott.

Bill
