The talks are yet to be "called for". Usually we have a call for talks,
some people will apply for a talk, and we then assemble an agenda.

For next year, we are still missing a person to do do prepare a call for
papers and the agenda. No one volunteered for this yet. I think Saverio
offered to do this in Athens, but I'm not so sure now.

Fed, if you want to do this, we'd be happy to assist you. :)

Good idea! We could also use posters to put physically in Hacker Spaces,
Universities, etc.
