FOUR WEEKS!
It's just four very short weeks until BSDCan 2006. Most people I
know have already booked their accommodation and travel. However,
you may be one of those that wait until the last minute. In the
first two years of BSDCan, there has always a small flood of
registrations in the last few weeks. Don't put it off. Do it today.
