    Call me stupid, I thought it said "Call for Realtors", then was trying to think what value they would bring to the gathering.

    Possibly funding OpenBSD development through real estate acquisition?

    By the way, let me show my bias here and state that I think this is a very cool event, wel at least last year it was the nicest event of 2004 that I attended (but then again I might have been influenced by all these Italianes ;-)

    This year looks like a great location but also a logistical nightmare, I've been warned I can't just pull up with my car to the hotel and unload boxes and posters... you need a boat to get there... Venice... Duh...

    I think I'll just drop ship the usual load with UPS this time and let them figure out how to get things to the correct address (they seem to have a brown delivery boat)

    I know it is difficult and often a thankless job, but audio for those of us who cannot attend is wonderful. I know this is just an announcement, and not their site. But I often feel that many geeks are missing a lot of knowledge shared around openbsd because audio is not released from these cons. Especially knowledge from Theo, hopefully by osmosis....
