[ale] Call for BOF Session Leaders

[Marc Torres]

Do to cancelations, etc I need to fill about 1/2 of the 
existing schedule for Friday and Saturday night.

I'd like to see if some of our membership would like to take
an active role.  You DO NOT have to be a "ALS Volunteer" to
lead a BOF...

Officialy the BOFs are currently scheduled to run the
following times during the showcase:
 Friday   4pm to 8pm
 Saturday 4pm to 8pm
The rooms in the hotel are reserved until 10pm, so I'd
like to add sessions to fill the alloted time and run BOFs:
 Friday   4pm to 10pm
 Saturday 4pm to 10pm
With the help of everybody in ALE I think this can be done.

Below you'll find the form letter I'm using to fill my
database of session leaders.  Feel free to edit the 
decription text and pass it into your mailing lists.
