Great! I'll just note that Nov 3rd is the last date for open
registration, and that's likely IST, so it might be good to get
confirmation on this tomorrow.

I'd be interested and available to attend this. Looks like the CfP is
over otherwise I might've submitted a talk. :)

Should I just register on their website via open registration or would
Amit like us to register via some other route?
