Registration will be open on Wednesday, 5:00 - 10:00 pm. Please try to
check in on Wednesday to avoid a rush on Thursday morning before the
opening session. Snacks and tables to sit and visit will be available
near the registration area on Wednesday night.
It is not too late to register for either of the local excursions: a ski
trip to Mt. Rose on Wednesday and a bus tour of Lake Tahoe on Saturday.
If interested, you should contact the travel agency immediately.

Dear Bootstrappers,
Just 'closing the loop' before SIGCSE: when you get to Reno, *watch the
messages board* for information about our social dinner (for those who
arrive in time) and about our meeting on Thursday afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing you again!

15:30-17:30 "Bootstrap" meeting ...
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 11:42:12 -0000
From: Marian Petre
To: Bootstrapping discussion list
Subject: meeting at SIGCSE
Dear Bootstrappers,
Having looked closely at the SIGCSE programme, there doesn't appear to be
a clear window for a meeting, so here's the proposal:
- A social dinner on Wednesday evening for anyone who has arrived by then.
- A meeting during 15:30 - 17:30 on Thursday, possibly with some run-over
(depending on interest in the BoF sessions). This does conflict with a
paper session, but one that I hope is expendable -- please check.
Friday February 21
Feb 21 (Fri) SIGCSE, 8:45am to 10: room Carson 1 "Introductory Programming"

...
3. You are invited to a Speaker Breakfast on the day on which you present
your paper. This is an opportunity to meet the other speakers as well
as the Session Chair. The session chair can learn more about you and
your work for their introduction of you to the session attendees.
The Speaker Breakfast is in Cascade on the
Mezzanine at the following times:
Thursday 7:00 - 8:15 a.m.
Friday 7:15 - 8:30 a.m.
Saturday 7:15 - 8:30 a.m.
Your session chair's name will soon be available online, and will appear
in the printed final program you will receive at the Registration Desk
in Reno. Session chairs have been asked to find you at the breakfast.
4. Your paper presentation is scheduled for 25 minutes. Please organize
your presentation to last about 20 minutes, leaving 5 minutes for
questions. Please arrive to your scheduled session a little early and
notify the session chair that you have arrived. It is expected that
you will stay in your session room while the others present. Often
audience members may look for you at the close of the session to
discuss your paper, so please plan for time immediately after the
session to wrap up conversations with the audience. You can ask your
Session Chair to keep you informed of how much time you have remaining.
5. Standard AV equipment will be available in all paper session rooms,
including computer projectors with an 800 X 600 resolution. Computers
are not available for presentation; please bring your own laptop.
There is no net access.
