Nice one Wayne, it was nice to see you briefly and I hope you had a
pleasant trip back. It did seem like KiCad could almost fill a devroom
all by itself.

I just wanted to point out quickly that the videos are also available
from the schedule [1] where you can easier get an overview of what
each of the talks is about. I am really impressed with the recordings
(thanks Orson!) and the video review system [2] this year.
