I hope that someone is still promoting / selling your new record there :-)
I've still got a couple of more years to reach that 10...

AFAIK we wouldn't mind to get comments and ideas from those professionals. 
Tuomas proposed the next year. Well, maybe it's good then, because then we 
should have already working applications (FenPDF, Mindmap...). Not only wild 
ideas, fancy looking demos and promises.

Anyway, Assembly could be a place to search for people to work for LibVob Win32 
translation, for example.

Too bad that I seem to be the only goer and I don't visit Jyväskylä before the 
event.

Also the next year...

Tuukka has been spoken years about making GZigZag / Gzz / Fenfire demo. I'm not 
sure how it should look like, but if it had your background music, it must to 
get on the screen :-)

Well, in the worst case it could be another boring home video, where Matti 
Meikäläinen completes his MT using FenPDF...
