Day Before Hopper - Printing Printing Printing

More than thirty-five Sun staff will be at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing this week in Keystone, Colorado. Many of us were able to check in with each other by conference call this afternoon. I am flying into Denver tomorrow afternoon. Today, I am printing everything I think I may need while I am traveling and at the conference:

    • Airline boarding pass
    • Denver-Keystone-Denver airport shuttle tickets
    • My travel itinerary (California-Colorado-California) and my daughter's travel itinerary (Pennsylvania-Colorado-Pennsylvania)
    • Hotel reservation confirmation
    • Phone numbers and names of people I plan to contact
    • Information about Sun staff attending Hopper 2008
    • Information on my panel "Taking the Long View - Many Careers in One Company" - Thursday, October 2nd, Session Three, 2:45pm - 3:45pm
    • Information on the MAGIC BOF in which I am a participant - "Setting Up An Effective Organization To Support Girls" on Friday, Oct 3rd, 5:10pm - 6:10pm
    • Sun job and program and MAGIC program information, in case anyone asks me

I am also carrying Sun business cards and MAGIC business cards, pencils printed with "www.getmagic.org MAGIC girls" for distribution at the BOF, books, clothes, etc. Sun's Hopper t-shirts and other giveaways were already shipped, as were our posters and quick screens. I updated my laptop software this afternoon but John is messing with it now (in case he, as our family sysadmin, can think of more stuff I might need).

I talked with Jessica and she is ready to print her poster for Hopper's Technical Poster Session (Wednesday, 1 Oct, 7 - 9 pm). I am looking forward to seeing it (and my girl!).

Keystone temperatures are expected to range between 65 degrees F and 25 degrees F, at 8930 feet above sea level, with thunderstorm potential, so I am packing for cold and maybe wet weather. Almost ready to go... I am very much looking forward to this. Hopper conferences are well worth the effort.
