Before I can chip in in that effort, I would need to know *when* GUADEC
will actually happen in 2018, as I've vaguely heard it would be earlier
this year, not in July-August, but didn't get something definitive and
set in stone.
I've been hoping for final dates to officially appear on
2018.GUADEC.org for some months now, but that website is still
essentially a blank slate.
