X.Org Developer's Conference: content needed

[Michael Larabel]

Here's a near-final pre-XDC2011 update for attending the event in 
Chicago from 12 to 14 September.

== ATTENDANCE ==

If you will be attending the event but haven't added your name to the 
Attendee list, please do so: http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2011/Attendees

Also, if you are attending and haven't added yourself to the events 
mailing list, please do so as it will be the mailing list used if there 
are any last minute changes - http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/events

== PROGRAM ==

The tentative schedule for XDC2011 Chicago has been published @ 
http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2011/Program

If you are a speaker and have any issues with the schedule, please let 
me know. If you still would like to propose a talk, there are still 
slots available, just add it to the Ideas area of the Wiki page and it 
will be worked into the schedule.

== SUNDAY MEET-UP ==

As many of the attendees are arriving by the early weekend, an informal 
meet-up is being figured out for Sunday afternoon at a pub in the 
downtown area for those interested. More details should be available 
later in the week. Likewise, on Saturday I'll already be showing a few 
of the attendees around Chicago, but the exact plans are unknown at the 
moment.

If you have any further questions, please let me or the board know.
