madandrew is a Fermilab physicist who is often at CERN. He's not right now, as he's at home taking care of a new baby, but he knows a bunch of people and might be able to hook you up. I can write an intro email.

My friend Ralph is part of the Amsterdam hacker scene, and is a good guy. I'd volunteer to come out to Amsterdam and introduce the two of you, but due to my current visa status I can't actually leave Belgium. However, I can try and put y'all in touch anyway, or perhaps y'all could both visit Leuven; he's been talking about coming by.
