There's plenty of time to chat between sessions and not everyone goes to them all day. Then you have the evenings too. I can probably introduce you to a few people.
A lot of people expected it to be in the US, but Roeland said it was just too expensive. I expect there will be events there. Anyone can organise one.
Really looking forward to it, there will be more coming too.. the last minute crew.. have the prices gone up yet?
Doesn't look like they have gone up yet, but it must be soon. If I'd waited until now I would have saved a bit, but never mind.
