Re: [Inkscape-board] Future meetings/hackfests

2018-05-21 Thread Maren Hachmann
Thank you, Bryce - Inkscapers won't starve in Kiel, I hope :)

I'll let the board know what I think it may cost, when I know roughly
who would come, and what they'd need or want (as I've never been to a
hackfest myself, it's a bit hard to guess what people need - and what
they prefer to bring (and choose) themselves).
Joining the Kitz barbecue could be fun, for example, but it's not
remotely a formal dinner, just sitting together (outside, if the weather
allows) with other tech people and eating burgers, bratwurst and salads.

That would be cool :)

Btw. I've heard back from Christoph about the color meeting in Germany
that I mentioned in a previous board meeting.

It has been canceled, because they achieved some of their goals already
via other routes, and because they've all already been working very hard
on the color specs, and couldn't invest any more time into meeting
in-person.

I've asked him back if there would be someone from Scribus who would
potentially like to join us in Kiel.

Tav, is there any specific thing or couple of things you might like to
work on during a potential hackfest in Kiel? (i.e. do you have
suggestions for topics already, maybe?)

Hi Board members,

sorry for the late reply! I've been waiting on confirmation of the
possible dates from everyone involved in trying to get a piece of the
available rooms (they are much in demand).

We can use the small conference room in the Kieler Innovations- und
Technologiezentrum ('Kitz') from (Saturday, Sept. 8th - ) Sunday, Sept.
9th to Thursday, Sept. 13th 2018 (R007 in this pdf:
http://www.kilux.de/downloads/Raumuebersicht.pdf)

Tav has kindly already created and prepared the Wiki pages for me to
fill in - thank you!

I've added lots of info to
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel

If the suggested dates don't fit with the developers and community
members, it's going to be possible to find other dates that fit better.

I'll start contacting people who could be interested tomorrow.

If any board members would like to and can join us in Kiel, please let
me know (also about your preferences for a start date). As you're all
reading this, Tav, CR, Mc, Martin, Bryce, Josh and Ted, you won't get an
extra email :)

Also, let me know if you have any questions about the venue or the town
etc..

Thanks!

Maren
