Is being worked on !! I'm in close contact, and we're almost there. Basically
it needs to be put live, that's it.

There is no program yet. In regard to the webmaster, that's Sense (qense on irc) !

I'm not ill anymore :) The Twilight zone is not as scary as you think, i'm
getting back on track quickly.

I think i've sent them already, just in case i'll forward them to this list
in another mail.

Yes, please, would be really great to have everyone together.

Anyway, the above points are mostly being worked on, and shouldn't be your
worries, these however:

As well as the government funding and (local) sponsoring.

I've said it before: that's quite a handful for you already. Please worry
about those things, and let me worry about the rest :)) Your work on those
issues is very important and appreciated and probably the most important:
without content it'd be a pretty silly conference :)

Gr,

Koen
