  Presentation:

   Joel Stanley will be talking about his Adventures working for OLPC:
   baking laptops in a pie warmer, an impromptu weekend trip to
   Romania, being interviewed by Red Symons and making the front page
   of Slashdot.  After the talk there will be XO's for all to play with
   -- the best way to get a feel for the collaborative software they
   run.

   Joel is an undergraduate Computer System Engineering student at the
   University of Adelaide. He has a passion for microelectronics,
   embedded systems, open source software and cool toys.  In 2007, he
   spent 10 weeks working for One Laptop per Child (OLPC --
   wiki.laptop.org) at their offices on MIT's campus in Cambridge,
   Massachusetts.

  Pizza:

   We'll order in pizza to have at EXCOM after the presentation.

No going back

Well, there's no going back now - I went and registered for the Barossa Half Marathon today. 47 days to go. Can someone tell me why I'm doing this to myself? :-)
