Sorry Michael, Piotr found out what all the unknows were. Your talk must have been on one of the recorders that died, gave up, refused to work or didn't have enough karma. We have ~60 talks out of the 100+ that were done.

If twitter feedback is anything go by, we're hardly going to be alone, so please come along - the more the merrier :-) Better yet, please reply to this mail saying you're coming along!
