I'm currently set up in the lobby of the conference (you can't miss me, I'm the one with all the hardware boards) and will be here until late tonight (got a good sleep into today). If you are even the little bit interested, feel free to say "Hi!" (I promise that I don't bite!).
I'll also try and put together a BOF session on Friday and will give a lightning talk about my too many projects on Thursday evening.
