I would definitely be interested in getting together with fellow Arch
guys, and it doesn't look too far, so I'm interested, but:
1) I am much more interested in the social aspect and/or meaningful IRL
discussions, rather then sitting in some booth promoting arch to
(potential) users.  do you guys plan to get a devroom and/or do more
meaningful things then "booth-sitting" ?
2) The link "program" on their site links to "call for papers", is
there a way to get an up to date view of what talks there will be?
3) are the talks mostly in german? how much of a problem is it that I
don't speak german?
4) is there an entrance fee?
5) do you guys plan to go both days?

Thanks
Dieter
