good point. Doesn't really answer the question of whether you're thinking of
coming or not!
We've had two very successful coding events which literally ran all day and,
especially, all night but some of those taking part still found time to give
a workshop even if it didn't take place when initially scheduled!
So if you have something prepared for a 30 minute or an hour about networking
in OpenBeOS you would be able to do it in a break or even as part of a team
exercise.
And there wasn't much of a "them and us" feeling as somehow people always
find something to talk about at BeGeistert.
