Bugscope Team have you applied for a session? certainly we can run one for you -- but it could be awhile
Bugscope Team just because we're busy and scheduling far in advance now

Guest we haven't applied yet. we wanted to see when there would be a time so we know if we could do the session.

Bugscope Team I am sorry I can't check right now, but you can write me at sjrobin@illinois.edu (this is Scot on Amy's login just now)
