[Noisebridge-discuss] Aaron's wake at the Internet Archive.

[Kevin Burton]

I just found out from Lisa that the family requested from the Internet
Archive that they wait.

Also, they want to come out to SF to attend the wake and we need to give
them time.

So we need to wait a week after the funeral (which is Tuesday - tomorrow)
