Right, and I know that.  That is the reason why I want to give a talk
at the Hurd developers room.  As for a lightning talk, they are too

May I ask what kind of talk you will give there?

It does not bother me personally.

At Saturday there is a special room for Hurd developers.  We can meet
there, if you'd like?  I think most people there will recognize me.
What do you think of that?
