Quite worth noting is that rms will be in town to attend (and speak at) both the Turing festival and the dynamic languages conference (shameless plug as I'm a co-organiser of the latter: http://www.dynamiclanguages.co.uk/dlc2011/)
The more people come to see these talks, the better!

This event is a fantastic idea - very well done to Gordon and the team for getting it off the ground.
Chances are in the first year it will be a mix of local folks and people who are coming to Edinburgh anyway for the 'main' festival and fringe. But August is a fantastic time to be in Edinburgh and this could grow into one of the main worldwide tech events.

i'm really looking forward to the event: exciting to be getting Edinburgh on the tech map.
Gordon, Jamie & co have managed to get some very interesting speakers - i'm particularly looking forward to Albert Wenger of Union Square VC, and David McCandless of Information is Beautiful.
good work chaps!
