Re: Pre-register for the 2016 GNOME Summit in Montréal!

Some other good piece of news: today I got a preliminary confirmation
for the venue. I'll get the details at the end of the week.

I also checked with the Alt Hotel (~5 mins walk from the venue) and
participants would be able to book at a reduced rate (140* CAD per room
per night instead of 160) simply by mentioning that it's "part of the
group for the GNOME conference at the ETS on thanksgiving
weekend".##SELECTION_END##

Oops, I realize now that I sent this only to foundation-list
instead of sending it to foundation-announce. Anyway, let's consider
this as a reminder for everybody interested to put down their names on
the "/Participants" page!

Having more names in there will increase the likelihood of the event
happening by making it a more compelling case for the venue and
sponsors.

Hi folks, we’re planning to host the GNOME Summit in Montréal this
year, most likely on October 8-9-10 (US Colombus Day week-end, Canadian
Thanksgiving). See https://wiki.gnome.org/Events/Summit/

Please pre-register* by Friday (so we can estimate the size of the
event), indicate any topics of interest you would like to propose for
collective tackling during the summit, and indicate your travel and
accommodation needs. I will try to secure the venue and figure out all
the details surrounding the event soon. Oh, and if you’re in any
position to ask one of the GNOME-friendly companies for sponsorship,
please do so and drop me an email. Thanks!
