Hello. My fiancée Ege and I would like to organise the next GNU Hackers' Meeting in the city of İzmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. Turkey accepts visitors from a wide range of countries without requiring visas while still being easy to reach from Europe: by having the meeting there we intend to welcome some new participants, in addition to the regulars. Ege comes from that region and will arrange the venue; I will deal with what for some reason we have always called the «remote» part of the work, which is to say handle talk proposals and abstracts. The meeting will take place in October, which is the best choice for that region: the weather will be milder, and the prices lower. The main presentation will still happen over a weekend, as in most of the previous editions. Concerning the venue we are in contact with a hotel where the participants would also have the option to sleep -- cheaper alternatives being also available in the vicinity. We will send updates later as we learn more details. We think that everything will be finalised by the Summer; in the mean time we would like to sample your interest. Please understand that this is still tentative, and we cannot give guarantees; still, if you are interested, you may want to keep your October weekends free. About talk proposals, we accept technical presentations about GNU and other free software projects. A web page will be prepared later; for the time being if you have an idea for a talk you can write to me in private.
