[Adium-devl] Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit 2006

[Augie Fackler]

I'm interested - that falls during my fall break. How much of my fall  
break would this eat up? I kind of have people to hang out with  
during at least part of that timeframe.
If there are any more details on timing, let me know (I assume we'd  
be arriving back some time on that Saturday?) and I'll run this by  
the salient parties on my end to check logistics.
