Re: [IAEP] meetup in Europe
Actually I was communicating with Lionel Laské of the OLPC France association, at their April 1st meeting they decided to rename their ContentCamp to SugarCamp and they have obtained funding for a meeting room in Paris on May 16th. I was wondering, if the plans aren't finalized, could we consider meeting that weekend in Paris instead? In addition to seeing each other we could have workshops about Sugar OLPC France is doing interesting stuff such as a Madagascar deployment and they are very interested in Sugar on a Stick, Activities etc. What do you think? Sean P.S. on a related subject, this week I have the keys to my Paris apt. back from the renters who have moved out... so I could potentially put up a small crowd of visitors who wouldn't mind camping conditions On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 6:50 PM, Christoph Derndorfer e0425...@student.tuwien.ac.at wrote: Hi all, has a decision been made regarding the date of this meetup?

I look forward to meeting you all. david Hi all, sorry for being late in this thread (and thanks to Tomeu for referring me to it). For me, it's all a bit complicated, because it might be, that I won't be available from May 13 to 24. So a bit earlier might be better for me But this is currently not sure. I'll update you as soon as I know more. Anyway, since I wouldn't be in spring break then anymore, I'd either need to make it on the weekend, or to be allowed to leave school for some days. As I said, it sounds quite complicated and... my problem is partly, how to get to this or that location, be it Prague or be it Paris - I guess both of them are beautiful cities :) But finally, I'd still love to attend such a meetup, not only to meet you folks I already know from FOSDEM again, but also get to know the others. ;) I'll try my best to get all this sorted out and will try to watch this thread better now... --Sebastian On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Christoph Derndorfer e0425...@student.tuwien.ac.at wrote: Simon Schampijer schrieb: Tomeu Vizoso wrote: Dear Sugar people, has been proposed a meetup in Europe during May, with the objectives of having some face-to-face time, reflect on the now past release of 0.84 (and the upcoming 0.86), get to know better the new contributors that joined us recently and have fun in general.

Prague is significantly cheaper for us to reach via train (312 EUR Prague vs. 424 EUR Paris; 2-way, 2 persons) and car (gas is about 20% cheaper). What about lodging and food?
