Hi, It's time to set the final date for the MacPorts meeting 2018. Given the initial poll results + some individual emails we are now constrained to any time between Saturday the 10th and Tuesday the 20th of March 2018. Those who want to come, please reply ASAP in case one option does not suit you (a confirmation that both are fine is also helpful) or suits you less. I would like to announce the final date within a day or two maximum, so that people who come from other contents can book their flights.
Most wanted to start on Friday, but I guess the main idea was to be able to take as little holidays at work as possible (so in principle starting on Wednesday or Thursday should be kind of ok as well?) Option 1: Friday March 16th - Tuesday March 20th (potentially up to two days earlier) Option 2: Saturday March 10th - Wednesday March 14th Option 1 coincides with many popular sport events, so we cannot book the same house as last year (or another cute nearby location next to a ski center on Pokljuka), but there is a sufficient number of alternatives. (The same location as in 2016 would require quite a bit of additional negotiation anyway since their initial offer was super expensive compared to last time.) Even if date-wise Option 2 would probably be more favourable, the number of working days involved will probably lead to Option 1. Mojca
