Steaming ahead
The Cocoon GetTogether date is approaching, and we're at 68 attendees now. Which is only 17 less than the people who have effectively showed up last year, and since this time, there's a small participation fee, I'm confident that registered people will show up. With two more weeks to go, that means we might get to 90 people - let's keep fingers crossed. So much for my initial anxiety - and a testament again for the faithful Cocoon community. This year, we are already registering 13 different countries, instead of 11 last year. Cool. :-)
My days are now slowly becoming consumed with fun event administration side-activities, like renting a piano (?), nagging speakers to send in their handouts, and arranging lodging for a group of 8 budget-conscious travelers. Next on my list is finding a company renting wireless access points, since I'm getting afraid that our SoHo APs won't cut it when trying to connect with 20+ laptops. Anyone in Belgium reading this with a clue, please yell.
