Hey all,
I want to announce a developer meeting that will be held in January in
Italy, "OrobienSTEP", a bit in the tradition of AlpenStep '07 first
and
AlemanniaStep '08 then.
The days are 24-25-26 January 2008 (Friday, Saturday; Sunday).
The location is near Bergamo, Northern Italy.
The goal is to have a nice development and debugging sessions among
developers to actually squeeze out bugs, add polish to the core and
existing
libraries and applications. The schedule has been choose so that it
fits
before Fosdem, so that any improvment can be shown in Belgium.
Nikolaus will also please all parteticipans with his handheld devices.
The session shall be held at an hotel, where sleeping and eating is
possible. The conference room with internet and beamer is already
bookoed
for those days.
Additional notes:
- Bergamo is easily reached by train and by plane. Being the
italian Ryanair
hub, low-cost flights from europe are available if booked early.
The hotel
itself is reachable with one bus fare from the train statin, I can
arrange
to pick up somebody though in case.
- confirmed attendees are Nikolaus and Fred Kiefer for the moment.
Gerold
Rupprecht will try his best.
- topics will be sure core and gui/back with Fred, SimpleWebKit with
Nikolaus. Porting of Flexisheet and Bean. Other Applications which
need work
before a release. And the rest will depensd from who comes!
- it is possible to start on Thursday evening, to gain an
additional night
and have the full Friday available
I heartily invite any interested person to come.
All core developers (Nicola, Richard... even Gregory, Adam..) are
invited,
although I understand that for people from Overseas the effort and
expense
will be too big.
People from Etoilé? David Chisnall? Nicolas? Quentin already sadly
declined.
Any European stepper is invited! Saso? Sergei? Enrico Sersale?
People who package for linux and BSD distributions. That would be
indeed a
topic worth discussing.
Please contact me if you are interested, I'll give you all the
details and
lodging shall be arranged to the best. Topics should be planned in
advance
too!
Happy stepping,
Riccardo
