I'm definitely in for the events on Saturday. Might stick to the VFT Stammtisch vor Friday and Sunday... but if a space opens on the Beer Part on Friday I am sooooooo ready for that!

No problem! It doesn't matter as long as folks register for the events they'd like to attend. 
FWIW Japan Do organisers don't try to compile a general list of Do attendees either confirmed or potential/interested. People change their mind/plans and it is impossible to keep the list accurate/up-to-date. We do try to keep track of attendees for individual events especially if pre-registration/payment is essential.

Oh, just one caveat in our case: we are flying in to FRA the day before on LH. So we are hoping to be in Berlin in time for all the events, barring one of those LH str . . . work "issues" that shall not be named.

What's the schedule looking like for Thursday night? Possibly arriving a little on the later side and wondering whether it's worth trying to hurry over to dinner or whether it'll be more or less done by the time I get into town...
