@Henry: The current trend is to name the new servers after instruments from anywhere, but that start with "gu" (because they're graphics card servers used for machine learning)

the 6th of march but the still "don't know about tickets yet".
- i guess they're waiting to see how many people click "notify me" to gauge how much they can charge.
...i probably can't afford it anyway.
incredible line-up though: Okkyung Lee, Susan Alcorn, Liz Kosack, Laura Ortman.
