If you will attend LCA, you should definitely stop by FOMS, the FOMS
schedule is designed to be compatible with people attending LCA.

Now Silvia has renewed my invitation, sponsorship is possible, but not
yet sure.  If somebody else is willing and able to travel and deemed a
better representative then I'm not going to insist that I go down under.
But somebody should definitely attend.

So Peter, will you be there in any case?
