Pre-porting party and training

[Eli]

Works for me. I will be off work then, so I will have plenty of time to
get this down. Also is there anything I can do to prepare? Can I get a
jump on something by reading some wiki pages, or some other way? I just
ask since I'm the most inexperienced and don't want to take up
everyone's time during the fun. Thanks for all the help everyone!

Given the schedule change that occurred as a result of the Beta slip,
I would like to suggest that we move the "content party" (that's what
I'm calling it now so it doesn't sound like "Porta Potty") back by one
week as well.  So it will be held on 2010-04-21 and 2010-04-24.
