Dear all,

MINOS '09 is this weekend, the 18th and 19th of April. We can still accept 
new registrations on the day.

Here's a first cut at the programme. I have essentially dropped in all the 
offers I was made. Since we have fewer offers than usual, I've made the 
slots quite large - don't worry if you finish early since everybody is 
usually pleased to have extra time on the maze.

If you would like to be added to the programme then please do let me know 
- we've plenty of time.

Please do bring along any projects you have, regardless of their state of 
completion. I've put a show-and-tell session at the end to allow people to 
just stand up for a few minutes, and the discussion can be very 
interesting.
