EDIT: Important information on hotel and activities information, see below
Following the incredibly successful WC2004 meeting, it seemed inevitable that a follow-up be planned. And for the follow up, we chose to hold it on the east coast of North America. And now, we've got some final details on the meeting for you, including the location, date, and who will be coming.
Location: Toronto, ON, Canada.
Date: August 4th-8th.
(For people that want to stay from the beginning/to the end, the 3rd will probably be an "arrival day" and the 9th a "departure day")

Please note that
YOU WILL NEED TO RESERVE YOUR OWN ROOMS. Coordinate who you will room with ahead of time if you are planning on staying with someone else. Reservations can be made by calling
1-800-268-8082. Be sure to mention that hotels.com offers you a 25% discount - they *should* give it to you. Failing that, you can order through hotels.com (that's what I did).
Price per room is about $153 CDN ($112 USD) per night. I'd recommend you guys get your reservations fast, as we need to make the most of the availability.
EC2005 Itinerary (big thanks to Link for this) for those still unclear about the schedule. For a more abridged version, see the post below.
Who's staying with who at the hotel? (incomplete right now - if your info isn't complete there let me know and I'll correct it)
If you have some plans on coming, let us know about your chances of showing up. This meeting will be open to all, not even just people from North America. In addition, no one is obliged to stay the whole 5 days, though spending as much time as you can at EC2005 would certainly be great. Have any suggestions for the meeting? Post them here too. This thread will be continuously updated with new information on who's coming/what we'll do when we get there, and other details, so stay tuned. Oh yeah, and
if you are very unlikely to come and/or have nothing worthwhile to suggest, don't post in this thread. Thank you.
