Hi Alexei,
I will also be there and there will probably be some non technical
things we could do too. I have some admin stuff related to OSGeo
Community Project applications, I should spend some time on the website
too, and there are probably some documentation bits I could introduce to
people if they are interested, so lots of different skillsets needed!
Best wishes,
Nick.
