These events have always been well attended IMHO.

The thing I will miss is discussing topics over beers with the engineers.
I've garnered more useful info that way than from sitting in most session
lectures.  I'm indebted to Mr. Reagan for his insights into the Itanium's
instruction set and to Mr. Nelson for his streadfast answering of my ELF
and DWARF format question, all over a few too many beers in the Tara bar.
