Thanks for joining us!

You have a point; OTOH, I think most of those people probably don't want
to sign up for volunteering in advance.  I guess we can create a signup
sheet at OSCON for people who want to drop in for an hour or so.

I'm going to wait another day or two for people to subscribe before
starting the discussion -- the main task coming up is to provide O'Reilly
with the list of people who will get "exhibit staff" passes.  I have four
to hand out, but it's not clear what the pass provides; I already asked
whether it includes lunch, and it does not.
