DIY Book Scanner

Is anybody from here attending 30C3 in Hamburg this year?
I saw on the event Wiki that the Paris hackerspace will bring a DIYBookScanner with them, are any of them active here?

I'll be there for all four days and would be very happy to meet up, discuss and maybe do some hacking

I *wish* I could make it this year. I'm hoping to be there next year. MarkVDB might be a good source of connections...
