Summary and Q&A

 

 

I suppose we'll want to schedule OLAC office hours on Friday and/or
Saturday?

We only got 2-3 visitors last year, but this year I promise to do better
signs, and maybe

just being there year after year will help people get a grip on the idea.
Since I don't go to

talks, I don't mind hanging out in the office hours place to watch the
laptops...
