Hopefully we will be getting Video and Audio downloads. My only issue is the 
quality. The last conference videos I viewed the video of the display screen 
was not of high enough quality to read it and sound was very bad and you 
could not hear the speaker properly. So presentation slides maybe a good 
idea if there are any.

Best to test equipment and proceedures out before doing the real thing.

I know its borring but I also suggest :-

        LLVA-C or LLVAC - Low Level Virtual Achetecture Compiler
        LLVA-CC or LLVACC - Low Level Virtual Achetecture Compiler 
Collection

I will do some diff's
