[Charlug] Fwd: POSSCON 2009 this Saturday, April 18 - Please read these reminders!

[Don Hardy]

Anyone interested in carpooling to POSSCON?  I'm all set to attend this Saturday and can comfortably fit three passengers in my Jeep Cherokee.  Since it is estimated to be a 2 hour drive, I will be leaving my house in Matthews at 7 am.

Hit me up at this email address or call me at 704-517-6285 if you are interested in carpooling this Saturday.

Thanks,
Don

Three quick things for all of you that have registered 
for POSSCON 2009:
 
1.  On behalf of the Conference 
Committee, thank you very much for registeringand for your attendance.  We've tried to bring to 
you the best speakers and open source information we possibly can.  We 
sincerely hope you enjoy the conference and find it well worth your 
time.
 
2.  Please invite friends and colleagues to join 
you at the conference.  The deadline to register is 
close-of-business THIS THURSDAY, APRIL 16.  On-line 
registration can be done at www.posscon.org  
 
 
3.  If you can't make it to the conference, please 
let us know immediately.  We have limited seating and a lot of 
people registered.  We also need an accurate count for lunches, 
etc.
 
 
 
In addition to the above, please keep a few 
things in mindas you plan to join us in 
Columbia:
 
1.  The 
conference will take place in the same location as last year - Amoco Hall in the 
Swearingen Engineering Center on USC's campus.  The address is 300 Main 
Street, Columbia, SC.  Signs will be posted around the building to help you 
to the event site.
 
2.  
Parking will be available around the Swearingen Center in metered and other 
spaces.  Since it is Saturday, feeding meters will not be required.  
 
3.  
Registration begins at 9 am and will run until 10 am.  We encourage 
you to get there as early as possible, check in, and enjoy coffee/drinks and 
breakfast pastries as you network.  
 
4.  As you 
check in at the front table, you will be issued a name badge and a conference 
program.
 
5.  The 
conference itself will begin promptly at 10 AM with a Welcome, Introductions, 
and the Keynote Address.  If at all possible, please try to be 
registered and in your seat by 10 am.
 
6.  The 
conference is FREE and lunch will be provided.  We've tried to make it 
possible for everyone to attend.
 
7.  
Wireless internet access will be available in and around Amoco Hall.  Feel 
free to bring a laptop. 
 
8.  We 
want and are encouraging as many people as possible to attend.  Please take 
a minute and invite a friend or colleague to join you.  There is no 
marketing tactic in the world more powerful than an endorsement from 
someone you trust, and we realize this.  In addition, what better way to 
spend a Saturday??
 
9.  Please 
note there are two distinct tracks this year - one for business-oriented 
attendees and one for developers/programmers.  We've tried to expand our 
focus a little and make it appealing to everyone.  
 
 
If you have any 
questions this week as we get closer to the event, please contact us directly at (803) 240-1213.  We want you to 
leave USC's campus feeling like you got something out of the experience.  
 
Also, please 
follow us on Twitter @ POSSCON.  
 
Thanks again for 
registering for POSSCON 2009!
