generally, I like the idea of having some way to contact the people. 
Especially for the Warmup event because we need to get everyone to show up at 
the same place and time. How do these google forms work ? They save the data 
somewhere on the google servers? Password protected or can spammers/other 
people find it ?

I'd like to handle the talks / workshops in the same way as last year 
(interactively via email). Turns out most people need a while to decide what 
they want to talk about.  :-)
My call for papers should go out tomorrow.

Cheers,
Marek
