What should we do to make sure you attend curl up 2020?

• Make an announcement?
• Continue to be the awesome project you are.
• You should run it March 28-29, as a part of the community half of foss-north 2020! (yes - I'm partial)
• announce venue/time soon enough (as usually)
• It's not you, it's me.
• live demos, hacking sessions, "free talks", competition to fix the most issues, etc.
• Reminder email+multiple tweets
• Make sure I know about it, and that it's near me. (My work isn't great about travel reimbursement.)
• Waffles? 😁
• Having a barista in front of the door ;-) Really, that was awesome !
• Just send an email
