Re: Mobile line-up for GUADEC

[Rob Taylor <rob taylor codethink co uk>]

I should be attending the BOF as a representative of Codethink Limited.
I shall probably also bring along another Codethinker or two.

Here's hoping we make some decent progress this year with the great
efforts that Dave and Nils have been putting in!

Thanks,
Rob
