Welcome aboard. There's a few of us in the Bay Area now. We get
together a few times a year. Depending on if any Haiku devs come out
for the Google Summer of Code mentor summit we might try to get
together that weekend. Three devs flew out last year, but not sure if
any are coming out this year or not. Any mentors on this list know if
they are coming out this year, and if so what days do you plan on
being here?
