Don't get obsessed about not getting a slot in the official agenda.
These sessions are not meant to keep all the people wrking in that
project. It's more a reference in the schedule and an activity for you
to follow and get involved if there is nothing else/better you find for
that particular time. The idea is that you help yourself by helping
others. You learn by discussing with others about how to improve their
projects.

We are working to have enough UX specialists in order to have someone
available basically at any time.

Don't expect them to know the insights of Python/Hildon, though. They
obviously know the Maemo 5 UI but how you get things done with code is a
different matter. Anyway, there will be other colleagues attending and
some GTK+/Hildon & Qt specialists in the other activities.
