Yeah, that's the main one I'm shooting for. Though it would be excellent to
help out other LDraw experts on a per-needed basis with travel expenses.

Heck yeah... Hopefully by then the OMR will be running and substantial, so
we could put those on it, as well as some personal creations in a library of
examples.... POV-Ray (according to their license) etc. Really an LDraw CD
would be a great resource if we could package everything someone would ever
need. We wouldn't have to make a profit on it either, just cover the cost
of making them. This could be included in registration for the event, as
well as orderable from the website - all depending on permission from the
Jessimans and whoever else's stuff gets packaged in.

Yeah, understandable. Depending on planning needed, late June might be
better. It would also give me a couple weeks after school gets out to relax
and not have to worry about being busy. Then again, sitting around with
nothing to do anxiously waiting this event to the point of desparation could
be hazardous to my health ;)

Thanks!
Now, I hope discussion picks up on it :)
Action items should be to secure sponsorship, other means of fundraising,
and a facility, as well as a date for the event. Once that's made sure of,
the other stuff should fall together with time.
