 !)

Paul, thank you very much for you kind words. I'm very grateful to
have been able to come to Marseille with BibLibre's sponsorship, and
it was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately it's too expensive for me
to be able to pay my own way -- especially with a family who wants me
to spend the travel budget on them ;) Perhaps when Chis wins the
lottery he can sponsor me?

If anyone is still trying to decide whether Hackfest in Marseille is
worth the trip -- IT IS. Paul and everyone at BibLibre are excellent
hosts. Go if you're able, and squash some bugs on my behalf.

[Koha-devel] Hackfest in Marseille (breaking news + call for sponsoring)

2015-01-08 Thread Paul Poulain

Hello everybody,

Last year, BibLibre office was almost too small for all the great 
people who came from all around the world.
This year, I asked Aix Marseille university (a Koha user  BibLibre 
customer), and they where happy to provide us some meeting rooms, that, 
added to BibLibre office, should be enough (they give us a 12 seats 
meeting room + 2 office where 3 ppl can easily meet/discuss)


So, the hackfest, in 2015, will take place in 2 locations: some of us in 
BibLibre office, some in University. We need only 20mn to go from one 
place to the other (5mn foot, 2 metro station, 5mn foot).


first of all: thank you Aix Marseille.
Secondly: if you want to come, don't hesitate, drop me an email !!!

A lot of core people will be here :

 * Our Release Manager Tomas (trip sponsored by BibLibre,
   Bywatersolutions and Kohala)
 * Our QA Manager (Katrin)
 * 4 from Bywater
 * 2 from PTFS-Europe (still to confirm. PTFS-E, please confirm. And if
   you want to be 3, or 4, you can ;-) )
 * all BibLibre staff (as usual)
 * at least 1 from Norway (Magnus)
 * some from Sweden (to be confirmed)

MISSING ONES, and it's too bad. can we do something ?
I'd really like to have 2 other people at the hackfest: *Owen* and *Chris*.

3 years ago, BibLibre sponsored Owen's trip. This year, we can't, but 
maybe someone else could ? If this idea pleases you, feel free to make 
it happen !


Chris, is there a chance that you could join us as well ? (OK, it's 
obviously traveling to the other side of the world. But you already made 
it 9 years ago, right ?)


(note that I haven't asked Owen nor Chris whether they could join us. 
But maybe, if someone want to sponsor their trip, that could be a 
welcomed idea !)

Hi All

I would love to, but yes it is a expensive trip, I think it would be
only possible if I was able to combine it with maybe a trip to Oslo or
somewhere else. Or I won the lottery :)
