Apologies, I'm still trying to figure out exactly where we will be --
as you can guess the Summit organizers are very busy and hard to get a
hold of right now! :-) Nevertheless, we'll either be on the show floor
(the partner pavilion) or in a prominent place along the main
promenade.  Either way, the Fedora booth will be very easy to find.

It won't take long -- essentially I just want to make sure everyone
understands our booth duties & schedule, and that we have coverage at
appropriate times.

I've updated the wiki with a better table that follows the Summit
schedule.  I'd be deeply grateful if everyone attending could look at
the table, compare it to the Summit agenda found here...

...and fill in a block or two when you feel comfortable holding down
the booth.  I will be there as much as humanly possible, but I do have
to give my presentation, a series of press interviews, and a
videotaping for our Creative team.  I've tried to nail down my
schedule as much as possible to make planning easier.

A hearty +1, my friend!
