I&#8217;ve rented the car, but I&#8217;m still keeping an eye out for anyone who wants to room with me: I can take at least one more person (and if we get two more, we can rent a bigger car :)). If you&#8217;re interested and fly out Friday or later, let me know!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be trying to keep Twitter updated with my whereabouts; if you&#8217;re interested in tracking me, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/crschmidt\">follow me<\/a>, though I expect I&#8217;ll be less prolific than usual, since I won&#8217;t have cheap text messaging access. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at FOSS4G, look me up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About to head out to FOSS4G 2008.
