Great!

I take Free as in Free Software, not Free Beer. If I wanted to be
pedantic I would even go for Libre Software. But anyway, here the main
reason for including Free at all is for the FPSAC pun.

In the rush, I ended up choosing the following for the RISC summer
events poster:

*-Combinat 2009
  International Sage Workshop on Free and Practical Software for
  Algebraic Combinatorics, July 25-29

Not perfect, but we will make the intention clearer on the web site.

Yes. Everybody implementing (algebraic) combinatorics is definitely
more than welcome.
