The registration opened at 5am here, though I probably would have gotten up for it had I known it was going to go so quickly. (Did you have to pay when you registered? If so, I don't think I could have convinced the holder of an institutional credit card to get up with me though.) I'll also +1 the suggestion for limiting attendees per organisation if the overall number is going to be kept small. David -- oʇɐʞıɐʍ ɟo ʎʇısɹǝʌıun uɐıɹɐɹqıן sɯǝʇsʎs
