Hi Jeff -

Unfortunately I'm not able to make BoostCon this year. Have a wonderful 
time. I'll miss waking up early for you morning sessions.

I did investigate Crucible far enough to determine that in June I would 
setup a Boost trial server. I have not applied for a license or anything 
of that sort yet. At first glance I didn't see an OpenSource hosting 
option. I might have missed it.

I'll be looking for feedback from the BoostCon attending folks to see if 
this was something you were able to explore. If not, I'll setup a server 
in June that we can run a test on.

Happy Library-In-A-Week-ing -
michael
