Put me down in the November column.

Agreed.

That would be awesome. 

Another reason is that at least some GNOMies will be in Spain for AEGIS
and coming back on the 9th. Or in the case of those in Europe, coming
here on the 9th. Either way, this literally back-to-back pair of events
is going to be harsh for those of us wanting to attend both.

Take care.
