Usually events like this are quite easy to arrange. You just need to get enough people interested, set the date, arrange space and connectivity, and decide a good bar for evening activities. The momentum usually takes care of the rest. In this case it might be a good idea to arrange some tutorials in the beginning to enable people new to Midgard to participate. If you want to have some funding for the event, the tutorials could even be for fee. I think there is enough interest in Open Source CMS to make that sensible. > When... that's a good question.

I would certainly be happy to participate. Actually, to make the practical considerations easier, I could even try to be a revenue generator for the event by either hosting a (for fee) tutorial or doing some Midgard work :-) > I think she is jealous of my being impressed with Dorothy of OSCOM. Well, it is easy to be impressed by Doro, isn't it ;-) BTW, it would be good to decide early on whether you want to make this first event in the area a Midgard-only or OSCOM event. Maybe a dev meeting now and an OSCOM mini-conference later if the experiences with the first event are good? > martin /Bergie -- Henri Bergius [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consultant Partner Tel: +358-20-198 6032 Nemein Oy http://www.nemein.com/ Nemein.Net -- Project tracking solution for consulting companies http://www.nemein.com/Nemein.Net/ Seybold-Gilbane Content Management Intensive, Amsterdam, Jun 11th Midgard Developer Meeting, Munich, Germany, Jun 13th - 15th GUADEC, Dublin, Ireland, Jun 16th - 18th --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
