[tahoe-dev] Changed date - Re: Summit Grid Creation Party announcement.

[Nathan]

Correction: The Grid Creation Party has changed date.

The Grid Creation Party has been moved to Monday the 27th, at 9pm, at
noisebridge.  It is no longer on the 29th!

This is also the "kick-off" event for the Summit where we'll be
planning other events, deciding what projects to work on, etc...  If
you miss this kick-off event, you can catch up with the summit by
asking in the IRC channel, or check this wiki page for updates:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/Summit

I will also be adding any events at Noisebridge to their event page, here:

Regards,
Nathan
