[jdom-announce] Re: [jdom-interest] XML DevCon BOF to announce JATO

[Jason Hunter]

Some have asked if they have to pay money to attend.  I expect we'll be
able to get people in for free.  BOFs are informal and usually don't
have anyone manning the doors, and in the unlikely event there should be
someone at the door, we'll just say you're a "friend" of the speaker. 
Please RSVP with me first if possible so I can know how many friends I
need to plan for.  :-)  If it's too many, I'll need to make alternate
arrangements with the conference coordinator.
