    Should we also have a list of who expect to visit ACNA....that might open up for new themes or limit the current ones.

    Hi

    How about FOSDEM, is that all lost in the glory of ACNA. I think the 15 years celebration is just as much a theme for FOSDEM as it is for ACNA.

     

    Also bear in mind FOSDEM is a free event, where we most likely will see a lot more AOO users than at ACNA.

     

    That being said, I will be at both events, because I hold both for very important.
