Seriously, I went once to a ski resort, and some doctors conference was taking place in a hotel there, and I really think it would be a great thing for hackfests (maybe not for a big conference like GUADEC or the Summit), but getting the right people together in a similar place might be much more productive than getting them on a big city, in separated hotels, and no sport activities at all :-) Getting 15/20 people together in a hotel, for some skiing during the morning, and talks and hacking in the afternoon / evening could be a good way of organising hackfests At least, hackers would learn how to ski :-) and the same could be done during the summer, with some biking/hiking activities in the morning. We are all getting old, so we need something else than only hacking :-) -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
