Done:

• (Ryan shipped) 2 large monitors (23") for "datacrawl" and hands-on demo with the "canned" copy
• (Jory) bookmarks -- should arrive by May 20. Jory will send 1800 to the conference and keep the rest at NESCent. DONE

Preparation still to do

• laptop with a "canned" copy of Dryad for playing
  • (Ryan/Kevin) create
  • (Ryan/all) test
  • (Ryan/Kevin) find canned data to show users how to submit.

Lessons Learned

1. Shipping equipment is much cheaper than renting.
2. For a hands-on demo, you need a big screen with a (non-laptop) keyboard and mouse.
