1. Diplomas <div class="gmail_quote"> I know it sounds ridiculous, but here in Guatemala every conference or training anybody goes to hands out nicely-printed diplomas, many of which say you are now a Certified Educational Quality Monitor or some such bullshit. The diplomas are common as dirt; the people who pay any attention to them, rarer, but the latter do exist and sometimes hold positions of power. I'd like one for XOCamp, and I suspect some kind of pretentious record of our attendance would be useful to some other attendees too. I'd be happy to throw something together. I would need a list of attendees who want them, and 1 or 2 people with official titles to sign the things; and I'd like some resources for printing the things (printer and nice paper, or a few bucks to acquire [the use of] those). 2. Housing beg I will be in Boston from the night of the 12th (Monday, arriving on a late train) to that of the 17th (leaving by train on the morning of the 18th). I am confident that I can, if necessary, find housing independently of this list; but it would be nicer to be staying with other XO people. If anybody has a couch/room available, please let me know privately. Thanks. </div>Jameson
