There are 55 days until the Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is looking good, the Program is shaping up nicely, and there is more and more blog and media coverage already. The anthology should be published in time for the event. There are already 144 registered participants and if you do not register soon, it may be too late once you decide to do so (we'll cap at about 200). Between now and the conference, I am highlighting some of the people who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.
Alexander Scholz is the IT master and blogger for the The Pimm Group in the Nicholas School for Environment at Duke University.
Matthew Faerber is the Environmental Senior Technician - Classifications Assistance & Mapping at the NC Department of Environmental & Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality and a web designer.
Kirsten Zillman is an Environmental Consultant, formerly of the OGI School of Science and Engineering at OHSU and a coauthor of The Forest Portal
In order to meet them, you know what you have to do: register! Registration is free. Check the map for nearby hotels. And sign up for the Friday dinner.
If you are coming, find hotel information, exchange information about where you are staying, if you are offering a ride, need a ride, or want to carpool on the Ride Board - just edit the wiki page and add the query or information.
Our Friday lab tours are now in place, so you can start signing up to join one of them.
Get updates and get in touch with other participants via our Facebook Event group (I see that some who originally responded "Maybe attending" are now registered).
Please use 'scienceblogging.com' as your tag when writing blog posts about it or uploading pictures. You can also download and print out the flyers (PDF1 and PDF2) and post them on bulletin boards at your office, lab or school.

Bora still has some 55 days to go before the conference, and still he posts about the folks coming. Will he have groups and/or individuals to write about by the time the conference gets here? Not to worry, Bora will find conference goers to write about, the question is who?
That is for us to make wild, inaccurate guesses about. In this contest,Twitting Bora, it is your goal to come up with the wildest, most outrageous, least likely participants at the Science Blogging Conference. Who (or what) will Bora announce as being at the conference this year the day before the conference starts?
Post your badly ill informed ideas here or in your blog (with a link here to it) The one that gets the most (and the most inventive) ballot box stuffing gets something. I have no idea what, all I can afford is a post pointing to your idea, and warning people about the other disgusting habits you have.
