Weird. I just saw the OSiMWorld list for the first time, and I'm not on it! That means either there's been a mix-up, or I was purposely not sponsored to go. 
I've e-mailed Mr Gil, but he hasn't responded to me before now, so I doubt he'll respond now...
That means I'm flying into Berlin 3 days too early. I guess I'll be a tourist.

If you are able to enter all those events and areas for free, your days will still be fairly full. I exchanged some email messages with Quim before his vacation about this option, thinking it might be better if he didn't spend money on getting me into the "streams".

No offense to any US resident but if you keep a summit in US, your NIT (or any electronic device) while travelling can be confiscated by Customs for an unlimited amount of time for no stated reason whatsoever. I'm sure there are tons of other reasons why one would not want to visit the US. Europe, and any other country I'm aware of, is much easier to access in this particular regard.
One could always host an unofficial meeting of some kind. For example a hackathon.
I wonder if Nokia will be represented at FOSDEM 2009? I'm looking forward to that even if it'd be non-Linux/non-NIT (e.g. other N-series or Symbian) related.

If they could get a database with videos it would be really nice for those who can't make it, or for those who can but can't get to all the conferences.

I'm hoping that (1) there was a mix-up and/or (2) I can get a lower-tiered sponsorship, that is, if it costs something to go to the floor show, etc, Nokia will cover that (but not the Developer streams stuff)... If I can get in the door of the show, but I can't go to the developer stream stuff, I will be glad to sit at the Maemo table for as much time as you need me there...
Worst case scenario, I'll be visiting some nice museums, etc.
PS: YoDude, that "And More" is the title for the next session. Ha ha.
