I have to admit that I am *really* disappointed about the communication of the conference planer and the whole organization of this conference.
I personally have send three mails (other threads) before to the conference but still waiting for an answer (and I am not the only one). I reckon this one will not be different. :( I guess that means we should follow the cocoon example and organize something for ourself to meet. BTW if we do so I guess I will not even attend the conference but only meet up with the people of the forrest community. I cannot understand why committers do not get discounts for the conference and having to pay the fee by myself it is just *too* much money. It is a petty but who can spend 800¤ + traveling cost + ... If my understanding is correct the organization of this conference is not directly from the ASF, right? No offense but the organization is to not really helpful in answering questions and helping (unless so many other conferences I attended). salu2 On Wed, 2005-05-18 at 10:29 +0200, Thorsten Scherler wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I would like whether we, the forrest community, can apply for a > Birds-of-a-Feather session on the ApacheCon EU 05. > > The question is whether non-registrants are allowed there? > > Ferdinand suggested the following: > "As far as I can tell, we could have two separate meet-ups: > > 1.
