As announced in January, I'd like to offer a developer meeting in Waltrop this year again. Due to the limited meeting and accommodation space (limit is about 20 participants) and the time frame, things like introductory courses for LilyPond would not make much sense: the focus will be on having discussions, getting serious work done, figuring out where to go next, and so on.
I sincerely hope that the topic of releasing 2.18 will _not_ be relevant any more and we can instead make some progress on the next steps. Things that might warrant working on are Guilev2 (seriously) Markup redesign Page breaker MusicXML discussions Discussions about EU project feasibility (I tried getting something organized a few months ago, but it basically died from lack of immediate recognizable interest from commercial entities). Reports about the last meeting can be found at <URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?The-LilyPond-Report-28>. Information about travel and place (please don't get confused by last year's dates!) is still at <URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?LilyPond-meeting-in-Waltrop>. The date this time around will be August 2013, Friday 16th to Tuesday 20th, with the possibility to arrive Thursday 15th late in the day for people who'd otherwise miss stuff early Friday. The proposed date coincides with the "Dattelner Kanalfest" <URL:http://www.kanalfest.de/> which is the big competition (next town) of the "Waltroper Parkfest" we had running parallel to the conference last year. It still provides a reasonably close festival and entertainment for potentially not-just-LilyPond interested attendants or accompaniment, though with more focus on music and less on small arts like jugglers and stuff. But since it is next town, it will not suck dry external accommodation in Waltrop like the Parkfest did last year. So it should be easier for people preferring to stay at some hotel or similar to find something not too far away. Camping on the ground and sleep-ins are of course possible like last year and I expect most participants to make use of that. As mentioned above, most travellers will aim for Dortmund (through bus or train) though some international travellers will likely have Düsseldorf as their first destination in Germany. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
