Hey team, in replacement of our usual sprints, which don't happen very frequently, I would like to propose an "Amarok Dev Days" event, hosted once per year at different locations. This year we can host it in our apartment in Ulm/Germany. It's huge (we can host 12 people without a problem) and in the city center, we have good and cheap hotels right around the corner, we have fast WiFi and Internet access (100 Mbit/s) which makes teleconferences possible for members who cannot attend, a big kitchen for breakfast, and with the bus station you can reach any location in Ulm for EUR 1,70. Nokia might also help a bit with sponsoring, e.g. by giving free N950 devices for our Amarok Move port.
I'd like to style it after VideoLan (VLC) Dev Days: http://www.videolan.org/videolan/events/vdd11.html A few years ago our Amarok sprint was hosted by KDAB in Berlin. The costs for the meeting room (big one) was taken over by KDAB. Travel expenses and hotel/hostel can be a mix of KDE e.V. and Amarok reimbursement, or you could ask your employer to pay. The events should be done mostly on weekends, which does not require taking vacation for most of us. We can also provide privacy if someone needs to do work for their company. -- Mark Kretschmann Amarok Developer, Senior Software Engineer at Nokia Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe http://amarok.kde.org - http://fsfe.org - http://nokia.com _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
