There have been a number of excellent "9.1 proposals" posted to devel@ and sugar@ recently.  Since OLPC seems to have cancelled [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XOcamp_2 XOcamp], here's a proposal for an alterna-conference during the same time period.
Participation is open to all Sugar and OLPC volunteers and employees!

''Please feel free to add anyone I've missed; I just compiled this quickly by scanning emails to [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/ devel@] and [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/ sugar@] with 'Proposal' in the title.  If you're one of the listed developers, please add your location and the approximate cost of airfare, if you can determine it -- or remove yourself if you've made a proposal but aren't actually interested in attending, or can donate your own travel costs.  I tried to roughly sort by number of proposals made (talks to be given).''
