Yes. It was a great event. Especially the Technically sessions (did miss
most of the others)

Sounds great. Somthing "informal" without all these Busines and marketing
people Palmsource in Munich was filled up.

If its in Germany i will probably there. I doubt i would travel a longer
distance (especially for a single day), except i can combine it with some
vacation (and then the place must be somthing intersting.

I would suggest shortly after or before the 3.5 release (or devices using
it).
Maybe May or June?

I would like to have in deepth sessions on specific topics. Maybe a lot of
them in small groups. I guess (hope?) we should find enough people to do
these sessions in the palm developer community. I might even do one myself.

Would be nice to have computers there to do some actual
demonstrations/develompent in the sessions. Of course that is difficult (and
probably expensive). Maybe it could be done in some kind of University or
similar which has the rooms and equipment?
