Well timed, Chris.  You're right, it seems like a lot of time now but
we do need to get travel planning and budgeting underway in very short
order.

Robyn and I have been in contact with someone at the ASU computer
science department about getting faculty approval and sponsorship for
the FUDCon NA event, which is the critical path item on which the
other planning hinges.  We were expecting to hear back from him at the
end of last week.  I'm dropping him another line now to ask whether
we've been approved by the department.

Robyn, you haven't heard back from Jon, have you?
