I have a capacitive switch I want to test. I have googled a fair bit but
cannot find a simple answer. Will simply earthing the feed wire to the
switch do the trick? (I have a harman kardon base unit not working, and
the volume switches on the satellite are suspect.) Apologies not linux
of course but I figure this is a super simple question for the cognoscenti.

Indeed, same here. It seems that #bblug is free on freenode. I'm the
only one in it. Join me ;)

We should probably look into registering that if we intend to keep an
IRC channel.

I'm also interested in joining. I will take the occasion to also visit
my parents after the conference. Would be happy to share the flight to
Brussels, but will not return with you guys.

How can you get a stand accepted? We would be interested to have a
Chakra stand.

Also there's this newfangled thing called matrix.org/riot.im
https://riot.im

Seems to be IRC on steroids. It also allows two-way bridges to IRC. It
doesn't bridge to irc.perl.org though.
