Hi Dave -

I think the 'scope of your proposal' wasn't clear to me in your first email. 
So, if I understand what you are saying you are thinking of having a little 
'birds of a feather' session for each of attending boost authors to answer 
questions about their libraries.

If that's right, it sounds like an awesome idea to me. Obviously we are going 
to have a bunch of library authors running around at BoostCon, so it's a good 
time to do this.  Maybe we would have these at some regular time like during 
lunch, breakfast, or after the main sessions are done for the day?   Then you 
could have the pick of the rooms...

If I've got it right (please confirm), let me run it by the program 
committee...maybe we can help getting it organized a bit.  We have a list of 
all the attendees...so that would help jumpstart which authors are there.  And 
  maybe if we get some firm times we can get them on the official schedule...

Use your cell phone ;-)  Seriously, though, I know we are going to find 
someone that knows how to solve this problem...
