Details are still somewhat fuzzy since I don't have all that much feedback concerning who will arrive when and leave, but there are some corner points.
Apparently Janek will be arriving in advance. No details yet as to his exact travel time and accommodation wishes: like anybody else not having mentioned anything, I count on him bringing sleeping bag or other bedcloths. Marc mentioned coming as well as Rodolfo. Rodolfo wanted to talk about using LilyPond in a professional print environment, as they are starting a new series of printed music books ("Musik aus Schweizer Klöstern"). As Marc was not able to work the stock instrument I can offer here, he was thinking of bringing his left-handed guitar. I have no precise idea about the exact dates of those two participants and whether it might make sense for them to organize sharing a car part of the trip (Munich and Zurich, IIRC). Harm/Thomas Morley intended to come on Saturday, stay probably until Monday and camp on the premises. John and Graham will be there essentially the whole time, John bringing a sleeping bag. We'll find a bed for Graham since he does not own a sleeping bag and arrives by plane. Mike arrives on Saturday noonish and will leave on Tuesday noonish. I'll dig out suitable connections for people arriving at Düsseldorf by flight/high speed train later. The schedule would focus on stable release work and criteria on Friday, with the goal of getting most participants hands-on experience or at least exposure to GUB work. Coursework goal is the release of 2.16, and getting the computing facilities up and running. Saturday and Sunday are focused on programming courses. Nils Gey asked for the best single day to come and talk about Laborejo and likely also music production in general, and I considered Sunday to be likely best fit. We'll probably put pure/unpure and other backend programming stuff from user level on Saturday, also general Scheme programming and frontend syntax stuff. On the weekend, I would like to squeeze in at least some entry-level "garbage-collection and other Guile/C++ interaction" and possibly some "what kind of syntax can be achieved and debugged at the C++ level with reasonable effort" discussion, with the more heavy-handed stuff being put on Monday. In case of "let's see what kind of release work we can get done", 2.17.0 might be possible on Sunday or Monday. We should at least arrive at a good agreement about how to tackle the humongous 2148 merge which is definitely called for post-2.17.0. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
