Well, I was asking Nat to do something, didn't feel appropriate to have 
that on the list.

This hasn't been sorted. Could you (or someone else) let us know what 
facilities we can expect in the hackcenter? Number of machines, what'll 
be installed, etc. Will they have a GNOME development environment on 
there? What are we using? LTSP?

The time for a hackfest is also completely open to discussion. It's 
likely that only a small percentage (say 20 or 30 people) will want to 
take part in a hackfest, so perhaps Sunday afternoon, Monday morning 
would be the least disruptive time-slot (we want all the hackers 
brainstorming Monday afternoon, I suppose).

Cheers,
Dave.
