Ted, I'm curious about how many (who?) have indicated that they'll attend
on Friday so far?

I had indicated that I'd like to attend; however, I don't have the travel
budget* to go 2 days earlier, I'm afraid.  I probably won't even stay for all
of collab summit.

I thought it worked pretty well before when we just grabbed a room for
a couple hours... doing that on the first day of collab summit (avoiding
the xfs timeslot... whenever that is) would work a lot better for me.

Thanks,
-Eric

* or the spousal-tolerance budget, TBH
