(please add yourself--the wiki password is: freedom)

 

Question: I'm staying near the LA Convention Center for WinHEC, and would like to catch the FreedomHEC shuttle. How do I sign up?

Answer: Put "need shuttle" next to your name and we'll send you the shuttle details.

 

Question: Is there any provision for virtual attendance (live streaming, IRC feedback etc)? 'fraid I can't justify the trip from NZ! -- Eliot

 

Answer: We are planning to shoot video, but we don't have a live remote participation system yet.
