Hi Andrea,

Being at a distance there is some much I can help you with.
We do not know yet whether the "key" participants can make it to Octconf.
In the meanwhile, I will put the information you provided in to the
Wiki and start motivating the community to sing in and register for
poster sessions.

Juan,

This seems key.  If you put a sign-up page on the wiki then we can know by the end of the week how many people might be attending and make a go/no-go decision then.

1. Can you provide contact e-mails?
2. Do you think you can use Sebastian's checklist to help you prepare
thing over there? Many times the host institution has an office that
helps with this kind of things.

I guess the checklist should also help you to decide if it is a NO-GO,
I hope we can do it.
Please do delegate any thing you think I can do from here.
