I think it would be a great opportunity to meet in some way.  I really enjoyed
meeting all the GDB developers who were there at Cauldron last year, I know I
would enjoy hearing your voices again (and maybe new voices).

If people are interested, I don't mind taking care of registering a BoF session.
Keeping in mind that the deadline is this Friday (July 31st), I would need to
know pretty quickly if at least a few others would show up if we do this.

If we do this session, I can also take care of collecting a list of topics that
folks would like to talk about, just post them here.  It can be pretty much about
anything related to GDB development.
