Set to occur from October 25th to October 28th in Lyon, France. It sure would be nice if we could have some folks attend it (hmm, wonder if we could have an ET table there? Though maybe its a bit too late for that...)
Melanchthon, if you are around, let us know what's going on there...
Here's the Objectives and topics covered page:

Hope it is a great success!!! "Once in awhile we get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if we look at it right" - Hunter/Garcia
A bit far to get to from here, unfortunately. Otherwise I'd happily spend a day there.
