Venue
We'll be back at the Seawall Motel in Southwest Harbor, Maine. www.SeawallMotel.com

The room rate is $75 US per night. They have single and double rooms. if you want a single room, speak up quickly, as there aren't very many of those.

When
October 22-25th, 2009: Plan on arriving by Thursday, Oct 22nd. Most people will probably be heading out on Sunday, Oct 25th, after the big breakfast. For people who can arrive by noon on Thursday, Oct 22nd, Chuck has offered to give us a boat ride around the harbor. Weather permitting, of course.

Purpose
The BTS has traditionally been a chance for LTSP developers and supporters to get together in a friendly informal environment where we can brainstorm design features, hack on code, fix bugs, work out issues and just have a great time relaxing in beautiful Southwest Harbor, Maine.
