First, can with do without the massive unedited quotes and useless MIME 
attachments please?

Dont worry too much about notes. I believe the organisers are recording 
all the talks.

  Note that Linus isnt doing a talk. But if you want to argue with him 
about why he rejected your kernel patch, just look for the guy pushing a 
pram around campus. If you want to talk user-space, he's probably not that 
interested.
   Yes, its great to see Linus. But its even better to learn PHP from the 
guy who invented it. Or hear Rusty bitch about Linus and pre-emption :-)

  A big congrats to the organisers is not at all premature here!
