I hope we hear something about slingbox being in Xbox Media Center somehow That would seriously make my day. Even the thought of it would be awesome.
SLingbox allows you to hook a box up to your cable line or AV jacks and etc, and then watch your cable tv on your computer anywhere their is web access.

I'm a Java developer so I don't think I can contribute much to a dev convention.
But I can offer some help getting around in Amsterdam.
Taxicabs are expensive so only useful if you're with a group of 3-4 people. Best to use public transport (which is not cheap either but affordable) if you're on a budget.
Like any major city trains, metro, trams and buses are very high-intensity so available at any place at any time.
Since Netherlands is tiny you can also fly to Rotterdam Airport and take a 2 hour (max) bus/trainride from there to Amsterdam. Rotterdam Airport tends to be cheaper to fly to and from.
Let me know if anyone has any questions or if there's some way I can help with the convention.
