that's a great offer, I think. And for sleeping... I normally prefer 
bedrooms over offices ;-)  but I'm sure most of us can afford a cheap 
hotel for 2-3 nights.

Note regarding time: to me it currently looks more like a long weekend 
event, where we meet, talk and code. I don't think a week long event is 
possible nor good for monotone.

I don't think that would be necessary.

I could surely help WRT CVS import. What special in-house setup did you 
arrange? Do you have huge, hand edited repositories? Grrrooaaaarrrrr! 
I've somehow fallen in love with especially wicked CVS Repos ;-)
