Josh, Kurt Cagle who is coordinating the conference has indicated he would like to have an entire Inkscape session so anyone thinking of going and would like to present should put together an abstract and send it in (note abstract acceptance dates have also been pushed back). An inkboard demo might be very cool.
That'd be great. I think we can do an inkboard demo, although we'll have to be sure to bring some network gear and stuff. I would also recommend we have a skilled user give a presentation; users are the *best* for showing off and wowing the audience. ;-)
It might be good to also have an inkscape technical talk, focusing on internals, with the aim of spreading more knowledge of inkscape development details amongst our team.
It might be cheaper to fly into Seattle, rent a car and drive up (think it's only like 2-3 hrs). And for you cold weather sports fans, don't forget Vancouver is host of next Winter Olympics(2010) so you can check out some of the sites there and in Whistler. Oh and there's Husky football on Sat 14th against Oregon for you Portland folks. It feels light years away but my guess is that I'll fly up Fri to spend time with close friends in Seattle but will drive up to Victoria on Sun pm so if someone needs a ride from Sea-Tac airport let me know. I think you can also take a ferry from Seattle to Victoria - that might be very cool too.
I'll probably also be driving up (from Portland), and probably staying at my sister's. I can also lend a ride.
