Summit Committee Dinner
Summit Committee Members - early arrivers who'd like to meet Thursday.
We're gathering at 7 pm in the hotel lobby area. Then figuring out where to go for dinner. (The hotel restaurant is a possibility.) There may be up to 12 of us... don't know who exactly will be joining us.
***
On Friday at 8:30 we'll meet again at the hotel bar (probably Le Montrealais) for drinks.

Welcome to the IA Summit Blog
The IA Summit blog extends the Summit - before, during and after.
Before - use it to arrange social events, ask questions, find out who is doing what.
During - share your impressions of the Summit as it happens, with people attending and people who can't make it.
After - share your learnings and summaries.
Everyone who attends (workshops and the main event) can be a Summit author. When you register, we will assign a username and password. This will be emailed to you as part of your registration.
Keep up to date by adding the feed to your favourite RSS reader.
We are also researching mobile blogging and reading. If you can help out with testing, please let me know.

How to post
Blog address
The IASummit blog is at http://www.iasummit.org/2005/blog/. You can post from this page by clicking the link in the top right-hand corner.
We are using and older version of Movabletype to run the blog – if you have used it before, it is a fairly standard configuration. If you have not used it before, Movabletype is reasonably intuitive, but we haven’t provided extensive instructions here.
Username & password
Your IA Summit blog username is the name that you registered with, in the form firstname.lastname (all lowercase, no punctuation). Your initial password will have been sent to you. You can change your name, add a nickname, email address and website, and change your password the first time you log in – go to Main Menu (in the breadcrumb at the top of the entry page), then 'Edit your profile').
Photographs
You can upload photographs into a blog entry. Optimise your photograph first and use Movabletype to upload the photograph into the default directory (/blogimages/).
Troubleshooting
Email Donna Maurer (donna at maadmob dot net) before or during Summit, or find her around the conference somewhere.
