It sounds like several people from the Usability list will be at the
Boston Summit and we have plans to do some work together.  Máirín Duffy
will have a mobile usability lab available for us to work on, and
the GNOME Foundation is providing a few netbook computers to see how
they could be used as a part of doing usability testing.  Also, we can
start planning for future Usability hackfests.

The GNOME Foundation have limited funds available to help with travel to
the Boston Summit per the Travel Policy guidelines:

http://live.gnome.org/Travel/Policy.

If you are traveling internationally and need a visa, we will also send
an invitation letter if needed.

Looking forward to getting together,

Brian

I was hoping to make it this year but unfortunately I've got some issues
at home which need dealing with so I'll be giving this a miss.

I'll hopefully be able to make it to the other planned hackfests though.

BR,

FWIW, I won't be around for this one either.  Maybe our first job  
should be to invent a good way to do virtual hackfests :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
