Re: [GUSDEV] GUS @ BOSC?

[Aaron J. M. <am...@pc...>]

As a BOSC organizer this year, I can almost guarantee that if there was 
someone who wanted to give a talk on GUS (status, future plans, etc), 
that the talk would be accepted (has there ever been a GUS talk at 
BOSC?)  Perhaps a lightning talk even?
