4) Invite local vendors (maybe updates from prior Brussels plugfest?)

5) Hosts will need an attendee count and names for catering and security, at least 1 week before the event.  Also need to know any special dietary needs.

6) Looking for recommendation for dinner location for Thursday evening

7) Schedule follow-up call for 1st week of March (Rob)

8) Technical requirements for venue, including VPN access, power strips, accessibility, etc. (Jim to confirm)
