discuss: Thread: Linux documentation to be discussed at LinuxWorld Expo BOF

There will be a BOF on creating documentation for Linux at
the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco; the BOF is on
Wednesday, August 10th, from 5:15pm - 6:45pm. It was set up
and will be moderated by Don Marti, editor in chief of Linux
Journal.

It would be great to have someone there who's deeply
involved in day-to-day coordination of the LDP. We don't
have any money to make this happen, of course. Who on this
mailing list is attending LinuxWorld? Or even living near
San Fransisco! I believe that, if you're close enough to get
to San Francisco without a lot of trouble, you can walk in
on the BOF without registering.  (Although of course there
are benefits to attending LinxuWorld as well.)

What's a BOF?  Is it anything like BOFH?

I'm not that deeply involved in coordination yet, but I'll be 
there to represent Unicode and I18n interests.

I'm in Cupertino. Rick Moen is in Menlo Park. Anybody else?

To clarify:  Both of said wide spots in the road are approx. 120km from
San Francisco.  Thus, we certainly can both attend and help run that
event -- unless business obliges me to be out of town that week, which
with luck will not happen.  (I even used to live about a block from
Moscone Center, and thus know all the neighbourhood parking secrets.

A "Birds of a Feather" gathering -- a room set aside for a spontaneously
organised event among members of some community, that is not listed as a
formal part of the curriculum.
