Gentlemen,

I'm hoping to attend the BSDCan conference this year in Ottawa, and I'm 
wondering if anyone from the OpenBSD/HPPA community will be there?

Further, if there is interest, I would donate the K200 I've been using to 
the cause, if there is anyone who would like it, and be able to pack it 
away with them at the conference, I'd happily drag it up to Ottawa for
someone to work with 'BSD with ... I've got OpenBSD running on it, and 
there are 2 9gb hard drives still working on it ... (It is the size of a 
dishwasher, and weighs about 200 lbs, comes with terminal and a bunch of
muxes).  I need the room back ...

Any takers??

Cheers,
Rob.
