A Nokia employee who shall remain nameless is lending me their N95 for my adventure to the S60 Summit in Spain next week.

My flight leaves tomorrow at 10:50 from DFW with a connection in NYC that departs at 18:00; three hour layover = lunch. I arrive in Madrid at 07:10 on Monday.

People I can’t wait to meet (some for the first time, some for the second) and things I want to accomplish:

What talks are lined up and who will be speaking at this event? I have a PDF file with all those details for you, and the raw data here:

    I reccommend you to eat “tortilla de patatas” (in small pieces with a beer) and also ask for any “Rioja” wine with your meals.

    Congratulations… and have a lot of fun!
