I am _very_ keen on this. My current Edinburgh plans are a bit up in the
air, while I wait for my visa (if it doesn't turn up by Friday, I can't
make it).

While not dependent on the ALSA bits per se, being able to integrate
this nicely into PA is also something that's very interesting to me.

If things do work out w.r.t. my travel, I'd definitely like to discuss
how we might go about doing these things in PA. If not, I hope there'll
be notes. :)
