Birds of a Feather

During the conference there are several rooms and spaces reserved for BOFs - impromptu discussions among "birds of a feather", people who want to discuss points raised during a conference, or perhaps get some plan ning work done away from the crowd.

If you want to lead a BOF, please add your desired topic here. If there is a BOF listed that interests you, add your name to the prospective attendees.
