Ah - if I'd've known a couple of days ago we could have changed the
date, but I've sent announcements out to quite a few places now so I
think we're locked in. The good news is we can do custom live spins for
the test day, so even if you can't get it done in time for the nightly
builds, we can fire off some custom builds. I am ridiculously tired
right now but I'll be in IRC tomorrow, I'll join GIMPnet so I can come
in the desktop channel in case you need to sync up with me. I can help
do some builds if that would be any use. Just let me know! Thanks.
