and users. Everyone will be inspired, hold debates, make deals, 
motivate, and connect face to face. After the conference there will be

_*ABOUT ABLEConf*_

ABLEConf 2008 has been in the making for several months. It is being 
organized by volunteers representing a broad coalition of non-profit, 
Free and Open Source Software groups located throughout Arizona. It was 
conceived from memorable experiences at similar events, and ideas of its 
organizers and volunteers. It is designed to bring together the best, 
brightest, and most interesting people to explore what is new, as well 
as a venue where they can champion the cause of open principles, and 
open source adoption across the computing industry in Arizona and the 
general populace.
