I'm going (just registered now). Will give a firm deadline to get our
v0.1 out by!
The cost is ~$90, that's for food; accommodation is paid for; flights
would be extra. Running from Fri~Mon.
Right now the retreat is open to committers and also to guests. If
there's anyone on the list who might be interested in going but isn't
yet a committer (Sabine, Vango, Mike, others?) then let me know and I'll
invite you as my guest.
Cheers
Dan

Hi All
ConCom are pleased to announce our second Apache Retreat in Knockree
(Ireland) will be on Friday 13th - Monday 16th May
For those who haven't been to an Apache Retreat before, they're a
weekend long event when Apache committers and community members get
together to hack on code, attend un-conference sessions, put faces to
names and generally have a fun time. As with previous retreats, we'll
be running a BarCamp unconference in the day, and a few projects will
also be hosting hackathons. The event is open to everyone from all
projects, so do come along if you can!
For more information on the event, including what's likely to happen,
what the venue is like, and how to sign up, please see the event site:
https://sites.google.com/site/apacheretreatknockree/
(It's also all linked from the ApacheCon wiki)
If financial concerns are putting anyone off attending, then the good
news is that the Travel Assistance Committee are supporting the event.
Please visit http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html for more
information, and to apply - the deadline is Saturday 12th March so
don't delay!
Otherwise, we're looking forward to seeing you in Ireland in May!
Your Apache Retreat planning team
PS If Knockree is too far away for you to make, and you'd like an event
near you, there's some good and bad news. The bad news is that concom
can neither wave a wand and give you a pony, nor magic an event into
happening in your town... However, if you can get a few volunteers
together, then the good news is that concom has mentors available and
advice to help you run a similar event! Drop an email to
[email protected] if you're interested in helping run an Apache event
near you, and we'll do our best to help you to make it happen
