#12Just to be clear (in Delhi), there are two different registrations. One for office hours and other for the general conference and fireside chat. I registered for office hours but conference is a waiting list.

#13I wonder why Nairobi, Kenya isn't in the list. Africa is a humongous continent to only have Nigeria in the list.
There are a lot of places we wanted to go (many that are listed on this thread). But for this trip, we only had two weeks in between Startup School and our application deadline. We'll get to other parts of Africa later. We started with Nigeria because we have a number of alumni who are based there now.

#14Remember when Sam tweeted this at DMC a while back? It sounds like he has revised his position.
@davemcclure way to help startups is not to be super busy with travel etc, but to sit around your office and be available to advise them :)

#16It would be useful if the post explained what YC Office Hours are. Is this a way to get into YC? A chance to have feedback on my startup? Or just an opportunity to meet a YC person?

If you click on the "Sign up for office hours" link, it goes into a bit more detail about what to expect at office hours.
Office hours are 25 minute meetings where you can ask for feedback on a particular challenge your company is facing, or you can use the time to ask questions about YC. They're fairly casual conversations, rather than formal pitch sessions.
