David,
It looks like this is shaping up to be quite an event!
The dates on the wiki page still seem very open, but you mention mid-March.
Can we be more precise with the dates that are being considered? March is
already not that far away and it would help to have a tighter window for us to
start pitching this to mgmt.
As for the lodging, all these ski chalets sounds wonderful. The only thing I
would suggest is that, given the nature of this work to be done (sounds to
me like probably more debating than coding, necessarily) it will be crucial
to have a big meeting space and a projector so that people can make
presentations to the group as a whole.
It is great to see CampToCamp stepping forward to organize this event, I
think it will be a great opportunity to get some good work done.
Erik
ps. I'll forward the original post to the users@ and dev@ lists for openlayers

Hello,
This mail is a call for sponsorships to organize the « 3.0 OpenLayers
code sprint ». This event enables European OpenLayers community and
OpenLayers developers from around the world to meet.
The likelihood of an OpenLayers code sprint (for version 3.0) is taking
shape. It is scheduled to take place for 4-5 days during the month of
March 2009 in France, in a remote and isolated part of the Alps (a quiet
place to achieve better work on this major release!).
The cost of the stay (travel expenses excluded) is about 750 € per
person. As organizers, we want to cover all incurred expenses during the
event as well as the maximum of travel expenses i.e. a budget of about
10'000 € for 6 persons. Only the time spent at the event would then be
at the charge of the developers (and/or their respective
organization/company).
Any kind of support is welcome... A PayPal account is an easy means to
carry out a sponsoring activity, even a small one, as an individual or
as a company's endorsement. For a larger sponsorship, please do not
hesitate to contact me or Virginie Jourdan directly – virginie.jourdan
at camptocamp.com : we can suggest a communication partner plan (based
on OpenLayers community's sponsoring activities).
Thank you for supporting this initiative which will encourage the
promotion of French and European Open Source Geoinformatics within the
OSGeo.
Sincerely yours,
David Jonglez
