Thanks to all who responded, I sent a message to tools-cauldron-admin yesterday asking to reserve a slot for a GDB BoF. Another topic idea: If anybody is planning to contribute to GDB (either a feature, architecture support, whatever) and is not sure about the process, best practices, or whatever, I think the BoF could be a good time to come and talk about what you are planning to submit. That will make the maintainers aware of what's coming, and will help you get early feedback on how to make the submission so the process is as smooth as possible. Simon
