I conflated several suggestions in one sentence. I actually meant physically in London instead of Stockholm. Partly to move it around, to emphasize the global nature of the project, partly to help pull in non-Swedish developers. The Centre for Creative Collaboration is a good free venue. I suggested running it jointly with OSHUG to pull in a wider audience. As we know from our recent talk there are a lot of OSHUG members with an interest in OpenRISC. It would be good to encourage them. I think telecasting is hard work - you'll have enough to do just pulling together the physical conference. > The late start on the Saturday would allow people to travel Saturday > morning, and probably be welcomed by all those who are inclined to go > for a beer or three on Friday evening. The travel was my main motivation. Travelling on a Friday evening is fraught and expensive and means taking time off work. For hobbyists the Sat/Sun split works better. > > > > Hopefully companies actively involved with OpenRISC would provide some > > sponsorship. > > Well, we won't need much, but we'll see.
