Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] OLPC SF Community Summit 2011 / Oct 21-23 / Registration Open!
Be careful when you register! Everbrite added $80 to my charges even though I did not authorize or ask for it. Also, you only get 15 min to complete your registration so if you are registering more than one person, best to do them separately to have time to enter all details.

Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] OLPC-SF Community Summit Oct 22-24 -- highlighting Sugar Labs / Realness
Hi For those of you who would like to attend the OLPC-SF Community Summit in San Francisco in October (see below for more info) here is the link to the Southwest Airlines site with their current sale. Thursday is the last day to book. Not all airports are included in the sale... for example, LAX is, but nearby BUR (Burbank) is not. If they have a sale fare anywhere near you, it is worth going a little further to take advantage of it. (Example I bought tickets for SFO-LAX in early Dec for $59 each. BUR would have been closer to home but $135-165 each). Wish I could go but I will be out of state that weekend.

There were several weekends under consideration. This is the only one I couldn't make. I will be traveling out of state that whole week. I really wish I could be there. For those of you that can attend, Southwest Airlines has a bargain fare sale going on right now (until Aug 5), so you might be able to get a good deal. Example... LAX-SFO is only $59 plus tax.
