[arch-events] Archcon: planning of activities

[Dusty Phillips]

I expect people will split into groups to go and do whatever they
want. If there's anything you've done already, you can join a
different group, so you don't have to plan too much for that. I will
do Niagara falls with you and anyone else that wants to come, probably
before the conference, rather than on the weekend after. If other
people want to go down there on the weekend, though, then we can do
something else while they do that. There is so much to do and see in
Toronto that people will have to pick and choose which packages
they're most interested in maintaining, as it were. ;-)
