    The newest schedule has Linus doing the opening, maddog doing the
    closing, and Jim Paradis doing one of the sessions in between (did I
    miss any other Digits in there?).
    
    Jim's session: the EM86 emulator for running Linux/x86 executables on
    Linux/Alpha (go Jim! 8^)!
    
    Oooh, this is getting better by the day!  I've got my calendar

    Well, my travel plans are set!
    
    I'm heading in to Atlanta on Friday evening and staying at the Days
    Inn (the "official" ALS hotel).
    
    Anyone else going to this conference?
    
    -- Russ
    
    FYI: the "corporate" rate for the hotel was eighty-something dollars,
    but the Atlanta Linux Showcase rate is a mere $55 per night!
