Sorry not long back from a trip to London. I was going to go, work have 
some discounted tickets (if you head over to meetup.com and look for 
EPIK should lead you to the discounts - sorry don't have a exact link 
handy).

I think it was reasonable size last year and perhaps bigger this year. 
Don't know much more than that. Didn't know it had any FOSS software 
there, thought it was the main contenders so another reason I didn't 
look to go. May do next year then.
