Except for a trip to a computer game center in Brooklyn, the Summit has been held at
MIT. This year, the Summit returns
to MIT's funky Stata Center from October 8 - 10th (Columbus Day weekend.)
Sponsored by the GNOME Foundation, there is no registration fee for participants. Those
planning to attend, however, are asked to sign up on the
Wiki.

Hattisburg, the future is
unknown.
One fact is clear. Many who did not leave their homes before the hurricane hit stayed
because they lacked the means. They are America's poor.
