I've been getting it for about three years now. You just have to fill out the survey once a year. The only downside is that last I checked you don't get access to their online archive.

However, the wiki does tell me that the main speaker is scheduled to be Dave, so that doesn't seem promising. Espresso Royale?

Tonight we had Gary, Carl & Marc M., and myself show up for coffee time. I thought it went pretty well. Carl has been to a meeting before, I didn't remember him, but my bad memory is nothing new. Josh ben Jore, believe it or not, your name came up at the very end with Gary and I talking. Your moving 2000 miles away notwithstanding, you have made an impact here my friend.

I was wondering if anyone on this mailing list had any experience with programming an online University application. Some scholars have asked me if I'd be interested in putting a team together to build an application from the ground up. If anyone is already in this field and has any experience or is interested in the idea, please contact me. I'll be back from Japan on April 4th.
