Hey Mike-
Thanks for this very generous offer! I think it sounds like a great
place for a sprint.
Because the majority of our active core committers are in Europe, my
assumption is that the lowest cost option (in terms of plane tickets)
would be to have a sprint hosted in Europe.
However, I like the idea of a Canadian cottage experience and would be
happy if we could connect there for a sprint at some point.

Devs,
I saw that @erilem tweeted about needing a 4-5 day code sprint for
OL3.0. To that end, I would like to offer up my family cottage as a
venue for that.

It is 1.5 hour drive north of Ottawa, can accommodate 15-20 people and I
think it would provide a productive setting for a code sprint. It is
reasonably well-appointed and winterized with plumbing, electricity and
a full kitchen (i.e. it's not 'roughing it') but it is out in the woods
on a lake for a true Canadian cottage experience. The main issue may be
network connectivity, but I'm sure someone network savy should be able
to setup a wireless LAN connected through the cell phone network or the
satellite TV.
Other than your travel, the only costs would be for food and drink.
Depending on the season, post work hours activities can range from
cards/games/bonfires/swimming to skating/curling/luging/skiing in the
winter.
I wouldn't be offended if you decide against it, but I just thought I
should throw that idea out there for consideration. I can reserve a week
any time between now and June.
Cheers,
Mike
