Will the venue be open to people who want to silently look and listen? In my
case, I have zero real involvement with the Maemo community right now, but
since I saw your keynote at GCDS and the first N900 specs, I've been lurking
a lot and looking for all news about Maemo that I could find.

I'm a long term Debian and KDE user, and I've contributed a little bit to both
projects in the past (packaging and coding), so I have some development
knowledge, and I'm really eager to have a Maemo device in my hands and find
time to do something with it.

I live in Barcelona, so my idea is to help wherever is needed in exchange for
the chance to chat with people and learn. Maybe I can pick people at the
airport and bring them to the meeting place, or help as a translator (outside
of the airport and the hotel, the locals are not usually good with
english ;-) ), etc.

If the venue is very space constrained and there is no space for people in my
situation, who don't have much to teach, but want to learn, I can still be
available if you want somebody to find a place to have dinner or grab a good
beer/coffee/whatever.

Greetings.
