So the status is that Josselin is trying to get his company (EDF) to 
sponsor his trip. Considering we're doing rather ok with the sponsorship 
I also offered to provide travel subsidies.

Now I think if Josselin is really motived he should be able to make it 
as there should be little to no financial issue.

If you think of anyone else who ought to be there as well, please let us 
know. FWIW we're also in "intense" discussion with other people such as 
Owen Taylor, Matthew Allum and others to attend the event as we think 
they would bring great value.

Thanks a lot.
