I was sitting in the green room with Hugi Þórðarson waiting to go on Icelandic TV live (apparently the video will be up in a Flash player eventually) when we decided to check out the press coverage, in Fréttablaðið (emphasis added):

Sjö fyrirlesarar flytja tíu erindi á ráðstefnunni. Fyrirlesararnir eru Molly Holzschlag, Kelly Goto, Dave Shea, Andy Clarke, Joke Clarke og Shaun Inman…. kanadíski greinahöfundurinn og rithöfundurinn Joe Clarke fjalla um AJAX, AHAH og aðra tækni sem gert hefur forriturum kleift að þróa gagnvirka vefi.
