I would hope that we would be able to provide sponsorship considering
their future contributions.

I really like the sound of that, Paul will be able to advise us further
on the availability of such a room. Perhaps we could have each SoC
person who attends have very-mini BOF with their mentors and interested
parties. We could give them a small timeslot when the room would be
available for them to use and then people can hang around chatting. My
only worry would be to make it too formal/intimidating and scary.

Very good idea as usual Vincent! Would you like to email the SoC
students and try and get an idea of how many are planning to come?

Cheers,

Rob
