>>>If most people have arrived Sunday, Sunday evening before Keynote address would be a good way to start DevCon. That way all the hat winners could were their prize during DevCon. Generate some additional interest in the thread.

>>I think Sunday will be better. Even if not all the winners will be present, from what I've seen so far, I think about half of them will be there.

>>Marc, since you suggested it, can you arrange that with the hotel? :) I don't think we will be more than 20-25 people. So, a room of that size should be enough. There is no need for audio visual equipment as this is only for a small awards, briefing and other related stuff about the Universal Thread. This should be pretty easy to manage for the hotel staff. Just tell them we are from the DevCon attendees and they should be more than happy to reserve us a small room. 30 minutes to one hour should be what we need. I will let this to you to decide the exact time.

>Marc the main bathroom in the lobby is probably big enough, the accoustics may be bad, but the price is right. We just put a sign on
>the door with that great web phrase "Under Construction" :)
