I'm all for organizing a conf. One of the steps we should take as follow up is probably gather how many people would be interested. Since it probably does not make a lot of sense to gather a list of interested TU's/Dev's/Support Staff as well as required travel funds. > As many of us live somewhere in central Europe, countries such as > Germany have been taken into consideration. > We looked at some free and paid locations in Berlin and Hamburg and > Delft (The Netherlands), but nothing is decided yet. > > We are currently trying to figure out options for sponsorship, as we > would also like to be able to (help) fly in developers from further away > (without compromising). > For this we would like to get more input from you. I really want to see a lot of attendees from our team, which would mean getting a lot of travel funds. Since some of us are further away from Europe :) This wouldn't be doable without getting sponsors, does anyone have an idea on getting sponsors, handling donations?
