Actually the UDS has suddenly moved to 31 October - 4 November instead, 
so it will likely be possible for me to attend LinuxCon should you have 
a sound BoF there. As it's time to start book tickets it would be good 
to know whether that'll be the case or not.

As a side note, I just saw an announcement that there will probably be a 
PulseAudio session at the desktop summit. [1] If that means a lot of 
audio people are going there, perhaps that could be an alternative 
location for the sound BoF as well? Takashi and others, will you be at 
the desktop summit?
