I think we're good but an XO-1.5 would be a good thing to have (we have 
none).
We have 10 XO-1s and 10 Classmate II and some desktop PCs and a buildserver.
We generally expect hackers to bring their laptops.

We have one broadband connection for the entire event. Bringing the F14 
repos
would be most useful.

Only your superpowers.

We intentionally left Sunday open, some may prefer to hack some more
(Escuelab will be available), some may prefer to sightsee. I don't know
what you're into, it is possible to visit archaeological sites for instance.
Barranco is a nice bohemian zone next to the ocean, good for trying
the famous peruvian cuisine.

Confirmed.
