[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Last call for picking a DIG hack-a-way date

[Ruth Frasur]

The polling for a date for the Evergreen DIG Hack-away has closed.  It will
be held on Friday, November 15 in the Boston area.  Stay tuned for more
information about the Hack-away as well as preliminary AsciiDoc trainings.
Thanks to everyone who responded to the poll.  If you did NOT, but are
interested in participating with the Hack-away or considering
participation, please note that you are still welcome.  You just don't get
to help choose the date anymore ;-).
