Hello people. I've spoken with Sylvestre Ledru, who has reserved the same large room we used in 2011, plus another which might be useful for informal meeting, from Thursday August 22th to Sunday August 25th.
Four days seem a little long to me, but we could maybe say that the venue is available for informal hacking sessions on Thursday and Sunday, while the "official" talks happen on Friday and Saturday. Or shall we make it Saturday and Sunday morning? People who have to work on Monday will want to travel on Sunday, so at least Sunday afternoon should be free from talks in my opinion. What do you think? Let's make this official as soon as possible. In the mean time I've been bold, and prepared the page at http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2013/paris , already linked from http://www.gnu.org/ghm . As soon as we set the dates, I/we can add more information. So, please answer as soon as possible. Would you prefer: a) informal meeting/hacking on Thursday 22 and Sunday 25, talks on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 b) informal meeting/hacking on Friday 23, talks on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 (morning only). The venue will still be available on Thursday as well. We would also like to know how many people are likely to attend. So, if you're seriously considering this, please answer. We'll set up official "Registration" information later, even if I'd like to keep this side of the organization as lightweight as possible. If you have talk proposals, please write about that as well. Please answer rapidly. We want to set the dates, so that people can make travel reservations. Thanks, -- Luca Saiu Home page: http://ageinghacker.net GNU epsilon: http://www.gnu.org/software/epsilon Marionnet: http://marionnet.org
