Hello all -- my sister is here in OAK with me for a few days (her first trip to the Bay Area) ... if anyone's brought their spouses along, and are possibly interested in tagging along for some short day trips and sightseeing jaunts, do let me know! Thanks :-)

More details and links to where you can get status updates can be found on the ApacheCon wiki... http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/GettingAroundOakland (And if you notice a significant change in status, please update the wiki with that information)
