  • Chriswaterguy - haven't worked out my exact travel dates yet, but at least for the duration of the conference it would be a nice bonus if there were somewhere to stay with a fellow Wikipedian (on a couch or spare bed). (The offer of a crash space by yapcheahshen is very much appreciated, but unfortunately I'm not up to sleeping on tatami). Worked out with Yap - thanks! --Chriswaterguy 17:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
