How sweet, I was going to be there early regardless of the coffee(not
a drinker), hence didnt chime in. So feel free to shout out when ever
you need help with an Ubuntu/Debian box.

I'll be coming in early to check the AV arrangements (yes we have free
video recording that will go up on pyvideo.org ...yippee :)) - Does
anyone have a spare SD card that can hold a few hours worth of raw
unedited video footage? PLEASE bring it with you on Sunday - we'll
need it only to grab the raw footage from the AV folks and transfer it
to someone's laptop. That is all.

Asheesh is right. It is not very hard to help people ..sometimes its
just a case of missing a step. So do volunteer, it'll be fun!
