Re: [coreboot] Coreboot hackaton 2016 (proposal in Paris)

Hello,

I would like to remind everybody that there is a doodle about the organisation 
of the next coreboot meeting (hackaton) -> 
http://doodle.com/poll/6udccyrsqtqy2ndt
I kindly ask you to answer this pool, because it will help me to determine the 
optimal time frame for this event. Even if you aren't sure 100%, answer please, 
this is only an indicative pool for me..
It is very import to know how many people are (even remotely..) interested, 
especially if the event has to be organized at an early date (say just after 
the FOSDEM 2016..).

By the way, I would like to make a suggestion : if the pool results finally 
converge to some kind of "bipolar distribution" ( ;-) ), i.o.w. there is a 
group of people who favor a spring meeting and another group who favor a fall 
meeting, maybe we should "split" the coreboot hackaton and make 2 
"sub-hackatons".. ;-) But in this case, someone else should pick up the task to 
organise the other meeting, because I cannot manage alone two coreboot meetings 
in one year..

What do you think?

So, I think in the next day, we should pick the location and date for the
"spring" meeting. I'd also suggest it be a 6 month interval between
meetings, which is the other reason I thought end of  january was a bit too
soon.

Sound OK?

What Stefan says is very true. I have friends here in the US who must have
2016 travel approved by dec. 31 2015.

yeah, FOSDEM happens at a very unpleasant time of year. Short days, lots of

Piggybacking on other conferences can certainly help overseas travellers.
Are there other major conferences later in the year?

Hosting after FOSDEM 2016 actually seems ideal and it will be in Brussels
(<2 hours away by train, or <1 hour by flight). It is a bit soon after the
Bonn conference, though but maybe that won't matter? This isn't intended to
be a big formal event anyway. If you get enough community members in the
Doodle poll I think you should go for it :-)

I just looked at the dates - end of January seems a bit odd time to visit,
cold nasty weather, higher likelihood of air travel delays, etc. Not a
major consideration, but something to keep  in mind when deciding on
dates...

That's actually a very good point. Visitors will likely want to do some
sight-seeing and travel complications can really make things unpleasant.

Okay, maybe we should just stick with the ELC/ELCE cadence and plan on
piggybacking conferences in the US during the spring (April) and in Europe
during the fall (October).

I also want to double stress the importance of getting an official
invitation out early is crucial. People from overseas might need to go
through a visa application process to attend, which might take several
months (and is not seldomly tied to an official invitation)

[coreboot] Coreboot hackaton 2016 (proposal in Paris)

[echelon]

Dear coreboot friends,

As discussed briefly in the last minutes of the Bonn meeting, I propose 
to organize the next coreboot hackaton in Paris in 2016.
Here is my plan (in broad lines, to be refined subsequently):
  - the venue would be hosted by the Electrolab, the famous hackerspace in
 Paris (www.electrolab.fr);
  - this time the meeting would be more of the "hackaton type" as in "come
 when you want, stay as much you want and hack as much as you can.." ;-)
  - after some preliminary discussions with the Electrolab, the access to the 
lab
 would be granted during a full week from morning to midnight (except monday);
  - given that Electrolab features some "conference" or "teaching" rooms, it 
will
 be possible to organize even some conferences (or "lightning talks") but 
 I do not plan to impose a "tight" schedule, so everyone who is interested to 
speak
 about something will be able to do so in a "self-organized session" manner 
 (like those of the CCC Camp 2015);
  - for the logistic side : Electrolab can take care for the catering part 
(there 
 is a big kitchen in Electrolab!) but not for the accomodation part. For this 
one,
 I will take care myself and send a list of suitable hotels later if this event 
 will materialize..

Now, I would like to know if someone else is interested to organize the 
coreboot 
hackaton in 2016 (maybe your proposal would be better that mine in which case 
I'm
ready to withdraw my proposal!..) and also I invite you to answer the next 
Doodle :
http://doodle.com/poll/6udccyrsqtqy2ndt
 to have an idea of the number of people interested in this hackaton proposal.

Best regards,
 Florentin Demetrescu

PS : initially I planned to schedule this hackaton near the FOSDEM 2016, but 
after 
some discussions with Ron and Stefan, I realize that maybe this is not the best 
timeframe..
