I, personally, cannot miss the closing session, and Bruce & Tom were
talking about having 10 minutes of speaking.

Note that the *other* BOFs are Friday night.

I could arrange a space, maybe even dinner. Agreed that there would be
the talked-out issue. Because of a schedule conflict Jan and I have,
though, we'd need to decide this by Wednesday so I could reschedule that.

With the EDB party the night before? This seems highly unrealistic.

The problem with doing this during a session is that I assumed that we
wanted to attact other interested attendees, and not just the people on
this list. Don't we?
