To Emily; I would be honored to attend. Please let me know if there is
anything that I can do to help organize such a thing.

I think that this is a very reasonable concern, stated in a very

recording/publishing the event (as we have done in the past at other
in-person events--such as the last Git Merge--which seems like a
lifetime ago ;-).)
