I should arrive saturday morning, I'll leave monday morning, so sunday hacking works :) I think I will arrive Friday afternoon, so we could have a little hacking before the beer event. Not sure whether I will be able to stay until Monday though. I will also arrive in Friday afternoon and leave on SUnday night. But I am not sure if I will attend the Beer event (again). It is nice there and the beer is good, but it is impossible to meet people you don't already know or discuss anything useful... Regarding a hacking session I think it is a good idea, but I can't contribute much unless Riccardo is also there. What I would like to attend is a UIKit/iOS session in the Devroom. @David: just put it into the Wiki (and getting an account is no more difficult as using LLVM :).

I'm tempted by a shorter beer event. We could have our own beer event possibly too. I wouldn't mind to go to a quieter or less crowded place. Well, Delirium did have a good selection of beer... The walk back across freezing-cold Brussels at 6am wasn't so fun, but watching Nicolas have a conversation with a singing finger puppet made up for it. I wouldn't mind somewhere a bit quieter though - I remember shouting at Fred a lot and just getting shrugs and blank stares in reply... Maybe if we get there a bit earlier this year we can have a few beers there and then retire to somewhere closer to the hotel before the trains stop running?

For the talks, I submitted two proposals: Étoilé Progresses and EtoileUI I'd like to hear about Étoilé progress... Otherwise I'd be interested to hear talks about: - CoreBase and CoreGraphics/Opal in GNUstep I think Stef, Gregory, and Eric are the best people to talk about this, and I'm not sure if any of them are going to be there (Gregory and Eric aren't, not sure about Stef - Stef, I actually have no idea which continent you're on...). - GNUstep Progresses and Roadmap - DBusKit I poked DBUSKit a bit and it definitely looks like a thing that's worth advertising and some demos. If Niels doesn't want to give a long talk, maybe we could have a few 'system integration' lightning talks and have other people talk about the UXTheme / GNOME Theme stuff and anything else of relevance? - EtoileText (… I'm especially curious about the possibility to leverage OMeta to write the tree transform rules) - LanguageKit Progresses I could talk about either of these. Most of the changes in LanguageKit since last year have been polishing off rough edges and a few optimisations (most of these can also apply to Objective-C, but because it's so hard to drive them from GNUstep Make we have the amusing situation that Smalltalk is a lot faster than Objective-C for some things). EtoileText might be of interest to other people. For anyone who hasn't been following the Étoilé blog, I'm using it to generate the ePub version of my upcoming book from LaTeX sources, complete with clang-driven syntax highlighting for the code samples (which looks much nicer than the LaTeX listings package, since it can distinguish typedefs, macros, and so on).

I'm in the US. I'd like to make it out there one year but, as you can imagine, it would be a real vacation for me. A quick status of CoreBase would be that it's on hold until further notice. Most of my time gets eaten up by grad school. And since I decided to work on NSLocale, the little time I do find is put into that, which has driven me to start work on NSCalendar and updating NSNumberFormatter and NSDateFormatter.
