        BOFs are always free.  If you'd like to schedule one, just let
+ me
know!  Certainly, all are welcome to the BOFs, regardless of how much 
+or
how little they've paid.

So, now its just a matter of actually picking a day.... The intersection of the BoF days with the free tech-session days is 'Thursday, Friday' I have one no-vote for Friday, along with a general feeling that for some, a Friday night might be too precious to spend on a pm gathering. So, at this moment Thursday evening November 8th is the most probable date. I'll wait a week or so before I make it official.
