hackathon at Open Source Conference

I don't know who here is planning on attending the O'Reilly Open Source 
Conference in July, but I know that at last some participants here are 
speakers.  Prior to the conference, O'Reilly will be hosting a hacking 
space where people can gather to work together on projects. (They don't 
have to be XML-related.)

Basically, O'Reilly will provide a room, tables, chairs, whiteboard, and 
net connection from 9am Sunday to 9pm Monday.  We need people to register 
their intention to attend so that we know how big a room to set aside. 
Register a project by sending mail saying how many people will be attending 
to hack on it to <> by June 1, 2003.

The conference is in Portland, Oregon, USA, from July 7-11, 2003.  More 
general information about the conference is available at:

If anyone has questions about this you're very welcome to contact me.

This might also be something interesting for other conferences to think 
about.  I know a fair amount of hacking already goes on at XML conferences, 
but a separate space for it could be a good thing.
