Hi guys,
The Novell team thought that, what with the next OOoCon being in
Beijing and the cost of travel there (etc.) and of course the broad
focus of that conference; that it would be good to have a very
hacker-focused event in Europe. So, we're inviting all hyper-technical
people (with or without long hair) to join the Novell go-oo team for
part of their annual team face-to-face in Prague.
To re-iterate, this is not an attempt to undermine OOoCon - if you can
only afford to go to one conference (money, time, spousal -patience /
whatever); go to OOoCon.
Having said that, it should be a fun time to sit and chew over the
latest developments, problems, and opportunities - while getting to know
other people.
Conference site:
+ http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/GoOOCon_2008
The place:
+ Prague, beautiful city, home to SUSE labs, an
inexpensive place to stay & eat
The time:
+ April 11th / 12th
The (preliminary) plan:
+ April 11th, ad-hoc presentations, hacking, evening
drinks / meal.
+ April 12th, am: more of the same
pm: fun ropes course / team building
+ check the wiki as time passes for more details.
Getting there:
+ unfortunately, we can't pay expenses, which is sad.
+ on the other hand, cheap flights & cheap hotels
shouldn't bust the bank.
We're trying to keep the event small & friendly, focusing on
hard-core coding, and vcl/source/inc/hardcore.hxx type topics. There
is no need to speak, but if you have something you want to talk about,
please do show up with some slides, and drop Kendy a line with some idea
of what you'd like to say.
* There will also be a moratorium on overt politics *
Inevitably, this being the .cz republic, unless you are
careful, there will be a certain amount of walking through forests,
and with the ropes course it's worth bringing some good footwear.
Please poke Kendy [ NB. not the mailing list ;-> ] if you can
come.
Thanks for reading,
Michael, JP & team.
