Amusing. You'd think Canada or Europe would be due instead. :)

Anyway, Europe *is* due, even though everybody here so far seems to be mostly
ignoring it (zilch replies to my message, and then a huge thread about
this). That's not to say there's not to be any North American conference,
and I'd be glad to attend it given the time and the money.

There's a whole lot of duplication of effort and thought going on here,
and my programmer's heart is telling me to look for a way to avoid such..
