Ok, my apologies then, this i could not know (i spent 5 minutes trying 
to locate you geographically, but failed, probably didn't try hard 
enough), and your email (especially the people in CC) mostly pointed 
towards your attendance pending on corporate sponsorship.

So, great, a spice talk it is then :) 3 slots filled, 3 left to go! The 
sooner i have them filled, the sooner i will go and talk to the FOSDEM 
organizers :)
