I woke up at 5:30 and for some reason I feel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwuwqmySRDQ...

I felt that way too... about a generation (or two) ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toDDCvIk9kM :p


Was the stream captured by anyone?

Kathy,
it says you are in Cornwall, you could fly from there?

i bet there will be more happening in the other stores though as more apps get prepared and ready :)
i just heard the onedotzero wall display is fully open sourced now (the controller we wrote has been open for a while) so that could be setup in the stores along with other things.

Yes, I can fly from Newquay to a number of places, including London. But for a 13 minute presentation, I think I'll stream it.

Bring your display a bit nearer (I can drive to Plymouth or Exeter in a couple of hours) and I might try. There's a nokia supported store in Camborne.... but it's not anyone's 'flagship'. ;)

It could be worth it. The event lasted 90 minutes in all. There was food, N900 demos and... one lucky guy won an N900!

Interestingly, they didn't have one to give him, but he'll be getting it in the mail.

Couple of people won headsets and the rest of us had to contend with a Maemo T-shirt. Better than nothing I guess...

Can someone point me towards a date and reg info for the London event? If it's been posted, I'm being a biff as I can't see it...

London is still not open for registration. Some people are apparently hacking their way around that "small detail". Looking at the page source, London is now at 77/80 and Moscow at 79/80.

But you would think that it's not that difficult for Nokia to notice that and restore order.

Edit: Oh, and the date is not known. So it's not you!

Back home. The stream doesn't give you many things, and we didn't bring it to the pub afterward.

I got "cornered" by two guys interested in OpenStreetMap and I ended up demoing OSM2Go and answering questions about the project (with the Wikipedia page at hand not to misquote).

In the raffle there were 2 missing guys that actually would have got a BH-905 (I'm looking after myself). I was tempted of faking a moustache displayed in my N900 and just pick the prize impersonating Ville Someone, but Jussi would have probably betrayed me.

Jussi is a traitor :)

Still 77 seats *available*. For all we know, this could just be 3 pre-reserved seats for whomever got inside information.

I wouldn't mind registering, but I have to know the date before I can commit, could be out of the country.

@Anidel: Ping me on Google Chat if the thing opens and you notice it before me (and vice versa, I'll ping you if I notice it opening before you do)

@Quim: Do you have any contact that could look into the number of seats available? It would be nice if everyone had the same "fair" start as all the others, and not have 3 magic seats disappear out of nowhere (yes, I do realise this is not your job).

Thanks
