[IAEP] NYSCATE - Nov 2009 in Rochester NY

[Stephen Jacobs]

last time I talked to the NYSCATE folks I had a booth for the RIT game  
dept again this year.  Last year and this year I will be showcasing  
our OLPC efforts in that booth and am happy to use it to support the  
efforts in any way I can.
