BOF = Birds of a Feather (flock together)

It’s usually an ad-hoc way for people to get together who are interested
in the same kind of niche, e.g. “Guix for embedded systems”, or “Guix in
science”, etc.  Some conferences let people register a BOF session in
advance, others just figure out on the same day who would like to host a
meeting.

^ yeah, so it’s pretty much that, usually :)
