If I may make a plea for something - I'm very much looking forward to SCaLE this year - in fact, I'm giving a talk, but I'm also super busy in life at the moment.  I'm flying to Indiana this weekend to await my brother's first child and my wife and I are expecting as well.  If it is possible, I'd rather not "own" SCaLE this year if someone else can take the reigns.  That being said, I'm still willing to do it if no one else steps up. 

I have a general list of who is planning on coming and of course I've already taken care of things with SCaLE.  It's mostly the budget (which I can still help with), FAD, and coordinating banners and such I'm asking about.
