Dave, you're right, I misread.  How much time can we get?  I'm not
sure what the limits are for the remaining types-of-meetings
available.  There are a few other venues we could explore in Austin,
as well.

I'm still personally mostly in favor of EC2, I think, because I
believe it will be easier for people to integrate into their existing
workflow -- sshing into EC2 is probably a bit less invasive than
rebooting with a USB drive.  I might be off-base though, and it would
be less robust for network interruptions.

I think the idea is to have them pre-prepared to save time and to boot
onto, in case of network issues.  I don't know how we would integrate
that with mirroring onto personal USBs.
