Everyone in the group should go to www.digitaldivide.net and set up a
free DDN account if you don't have one already; you can then go to
http://www.digitaldivide.net/events/view.php?EventID=11
and click the link that says you plan to attend the event; this will
generate a list of all people who are attending.
I am also setting up a wiki page so that all of us can post our travel
plans.
I would suggest we plan to have a group meeting during the second week
of the prepcom, perhaps tuesday or wednesday (Feb 22 or 23).
