Notes for attendees

• Please sign up for the mailing list so you can keep up on events and updates.
• Please sign up at Arrival Schedule if you'll need a ride to the hotel from either the Holiday Inn or the Metra station. The hotel will give rides on Friday, which makes things easier for Pete & Andy, but we have to know.
• Todo keeps track of the organizational tasks we'll need covered. If you can help out, make a note on that page, please.
• Note that if you're coming in on Metra, it's the Pingree Road stop, NOT the Crystal Lake stop.
• If you want to work on one of the Projects, then please add your name to the appropriate project page, so that the organizers know you're interested.
• If you're working on a project that's not on the Projects page, please create a page for it.
• Pete and Andy are going to get lots of snacks 'n' food 'n' stuff for hacking. If you have specific requests, please note them on the food page, and we'll do what we can.
• Country Inn & Suites is the place we're doing this.
• Andy's cell: 815-245-1738, Pete's: 815-260-8654
• How to connect to the Hotel wireless.
• If you're not sure what to work on, and you're looking for a project, then sign up on the page.
