So I hope for the best: you get your move done early enough to come  
to FOSDEM. Since it would be great to have to there (never  
underestimate the importance of a face to face meeting). When will  
you finally know whether you can come or not?

and maybe we should bring a second projector too so we can project  
the IChat session (the solution last year with the Macbook on a stand  
was not so good)

I got Quentin's mail, he is ready for that.

Sadly FOSDEM itself is not that flexible. They put the schedule on  
their website and print booklets with it in it. Visitors then always  
refer to that booklet for talks. So I'll put down half an hour for  
both talks.
