I would suspect that I am one of the people most interested in the topic of dual-mode cameras, since I have worked on supporting them both in libgphoto2 and in the kernel. But I teach in a university for a living, and the first classes of Fall Semester 2011 start on August 17 in Auburn, Alabama. Knowing this, I decided, months ago, that I simply could not attend a conference which starts on August 16 in Vancouver. So, after starting all of the current mailing-list discussion on the topic I will not be at the conference. I can only hope that those who do attend will keep me current about what gets discussed.
