Oh shoot. We were discussing this internally for awhile (maybe too long...). I think TOPP can commit to funding at least 6 of our people to come. And potentially another 4-5 if things work out well and there's some other OpenLayers critical mass. And we're hoping to encourage some other GeoServer devs to come.

Any chance there's another 6 people that could confirm participation? Or a chance that we could rent just half of the place?

Dear all,
Unfortunately only 6 people have signed up for the hacking event until now. This means that I'll cancel the event by Thursday, unless suddenly at least 12 others confirm their participation :-( Too bad, but that's life.
Cheers,
Jeroen


Dear all,
Further to my earlier email (below), I have now created a WIKI page and filled out the possible weeks that an event could be held.

To make a final booking, I want to be sure to have at least 15 people that confirm their participation and an indication of at least another 20 people that the have an interest to join. Otherwise it may end up being an expensive experiment from my side ;-)

You can sign up here:

Please sign up before 8 February, after which a decision will be made.

Greetings,
Jeroen


Dear all,
I've been thinking of getting an OSGeo "hacking" or code sprint event setup in an Italian monastry. Friends of mine take care of the place which is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my hand on it if we all start to download satellite images. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail.

The cost would be about 200 Euro per person for the week (food not included, we can organize that separately). There's a large kitchen and large dining space. Obviously since the weather most likely permits, we would eat outside overlooking the lake.

Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery:

Are people interested in such a thing? Looking at availability of the place, best would be June or possibly in May (not always available!).

If there's enough interest, I can start getting people to sign up and get a booking done. There would be 7 days time, so it can also be divided into smaller time chunks that are occupied by different projects.

Let me know, greetings from Rome,
Jeroen
