I intend to attend most of DLS, but the BOF has almost always been on
tuesday evening - I haven't investigated the schedule in detail so I
can't respond to if monday would be better.

I think most mornings "start early" :)

Generally the BOF attracts about 20-50 people at least. Canada may mean
less people - but I wouldn't bet on it. And the main ingredience of the
BOF are more or less improvised or prepared demos and presentations of
stuff done in/for/with Squeak using a projector.

Thus, even though I expect to hang out with lots of Smalltalkers
drinking beer - I don't think a pub will work for the actual BOF. :) But
definitely after it, and on other evenings.

cheers, Gšran

PS. I got some personal email verifying that it was indeed not possible
to get a new account and edit the OOPSLA wiki - perhaps it is fixed now
though.
