October 6th is fine since we don't have anything else scheduled, just
to confirm, this would be October 6, 2010 at 14:00:00 UTC:

Sounds good. I assume you want to call the class "Understanding fields

on ubuntuclassroom.wordpress.com, other than what you described above,
is there anything else you want us to include?

Thanks!
