Besides seconding the mail of Francesco that helping students attend the 
EUC event is a great thing to do, I would like to also solicit speakers 
for a "birds of a feather" 45 min session on the use of Erlang in 
education and research, scheduled for the end of Day 1.

You do not need to prepare anything fancy. One to three slides 
describing your experiences, views, plans, opinions, etc. on the subject 
will do.  Send me a private mail if you would like to be part of the 
presenters.
