Yes, the date is set. Just the official invitation is still in the works: the usual story: I get distracted by trying to get a block of parser changes finished. As for travelers from afar: planes can be booked to Dortmund, Essen, or Düsseldorf in order of slightly more travel time and train fare, with Köln being still tolerable. Travelers from France might want to check www.thalys.fr, particularly group fares. Unfortunately, it is only Cologne that gets reasonably frequent service, arrival and departure times for Essen or Duisburg are awful. The bus station (700m or so) is Waltrop Elmenhorst, the underground from Dortmund main station (25 minutes) which should be the most important target for arrival plans is Brambauer Verkehrshof (5 minutes by car from here), probably the next train station (15 minutes by car) with early morning/late night service is Dortmund Mengede. If travel times don't permit otherwise, it makes sense to arrive the evening before or leave early in the morning on Wednesday. I think that visitors from Germany will be more likely there at the weekend: that makes entry-level and programming and some architecture courses sit best there. As many developers as possible should roll at least one development release: so it makes sense introducing at least the first batch of developers right on Friday. So if you are booking, plan for the 24th to 28th date. I'd like to get some stuff started on Friday already, and finish the "official" part about Tuesday afternoon. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
