> Hello folks,
>
> ACCOMMODATION
>
> We more information, as yet unconfirmed, regarding on-campus
> accommodation.  Apparently, they are not taking bookings until the
> 29th. This isn't ideal, but it's better than the previous reports of
> overbooking.  My recommendation: keep trying.
>
> The rate for Les Suites has been corrected.  We were given incorrect
> information and regret any inconvenience this will cause.
>
> See <http://www.bsdcan.org/2005/travel.php> for details.

> TRAVEL:
>
> I hope you have confirmed your travel plans by now.  Book early to
> get cheaper prices.  If you need a travel visa, I hope you've applied
> for it already.  Please don't leave it to the last minute.
>
> We already have 16 people coming from Europe.  That's an impressive
> number considering the conference is still 7 weeks away.
>

> PRESENTATIONS:
>
> We have traded two Friday talks.  "DocBook Slides, XSLT, and XSL-FO"
> will now be at 10 AM and "Keeping FreeBSD Up-To-Date" will now be at
> 11:30 AM.
>
> Are you wondering about this secret new feature to be revealed at
> BSDCan?  I know details, but I'm not telling anyone anything.  But I
> can say that I'm quite excited about it, and look forward to using it
> once it become available.  I have no doubts that it will soon be
> implemented in various operating systems.
>
> Nor can I tell you anything about Colin Percival's talk about a new
> security issue.  I can't tell you anything about this either.  That's
> because I don't know anything about it.  Details will be released
> closer to the conference.

> VENUE:
>
> BSDCan 2005 will be held at University of Ottawa, the same place as
> last year, but in a new building.  The School of Information
> Technology and Engineering (SITE) is the University of Ottawa's
> centre for research and teaching in all areas related to computing,
> computers and communications.  This is a most appropriate location
> for BSDCan.  The building is amazing.  We will be using three large
> lecture halls and there is a large lobby between two of them.  A
> large glass atrium goes along one whole side of this building.  It's
> a great location!
