Ciao Chris, I heard from aaime about this plan, I actually think it would be pretty nice to spend a few days all together, even though a whole week is probably a bit too much for me.
Jeroen, are you sure you cannot hold a bit more? It is not that easy to spare a whole week but it might be nice! Btw, since now developers seem to have become a limitating factor, probably some "supporting" company could donate some funding to this event. The ROI should be good since in a monastry there would not be much to do besides working :-)! Simone. On Feb 12, 2008 5:50 PM, Chris Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh shoot.
