As the author of the IETFers iPhone/iPad app (http://www.itunes.com/app/ietfers 
<http://www.itunes.com/app/ietfers>), I would be really interested in any 
feature requests that would facilitate this work. With a mobile device that is 
location aware, it may be able to assist in meetups or determining remote hub 
locations. Please let me know how I can help. Also, if there is information 
that is easy to access at the meeting but more difficult to access in a 
convenient way at a remote hub, I can incorporate it into the app.

I won’t be in Yokohama so I can’t attend the BOF but if you get a room with 
audio or have a jabber room, I will try and participate remotely.

Thanks,
Tom
