I'm thinking about it, but like Vassil I'm finding it hard to think about t=
he explicitly functional parts - most of my contribution has been integrati=
ng Java-based search libraries in a more aspect-oriented than functional st=
yle. Also, I need to figure out logistics (admittedly not too hard - a week=
end in Edinburgh could go down quite well). =20

Are there any costs associated with attending the conference, other than tr=
avel & accommodation?

Heck, I'll probably do it - just give me a little time to warm up to the id=
ea... ;-)

Cheers,
Darren
