Dear all,
I'm happy to inform you that the hacking event in Bolsena will take
place! Enough people have confirmed their participation for me to
decide to make the booking :-)
Those participating, you will need to make and advance payment of 100
Euro to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by
email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to
change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)
For what the food concerns, there will be a cook who will serve
breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 Euro per person per day.
We'll discuss other technicalities as they come up, i.e. assistance if
you need to rent a car, organize to travel together, public transport
etc... Please feel free to use the WIKI page for that or create a sub
page.
There's still space for more people. I will soon add a floor plan so
that rooms can be organized. Some rooms are single bed, some have two
beds so people have to share the room and there are a couple of rooms
with double beds.
You can sign up here:

Very much looking forward to this!
Cheers,

Dear all,
I've been thinking of getting an OSGeo "hacking" or code sprint
event setup in an Italian monastry. Friends of mine take care of the
place which is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to 25
people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest
places for such an event. Quiet, isolated and serene. There's a good
wireless and wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my
hand on it if we all start to download satellite images. It should
be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail.
The cost would be about 200 Euro per person for the week (food not
included, we can organize that separately). There's a large kitchen
and large dining space. Obviously since the weather most likely
permits, we would eat outside overlooking the lake.
Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery:

Are people interested in such a thing? Looking at availability of
the place, best would be June or possibly in May (not always
available!).
If there's enough interest, I can start getting people to sign up
and get a booking done. There would be 7 days time, so it can also
be divided into smaller time chunks that are occupied by different
projects.
Let me know, greetings from Rome,
Jeroen
