Re: Meeting @ LinuxTag, KA, Germany
Hi, a meeting @ linuxtag would be a reason for me to go there. Until now I hadn't planned it. As we toyed with the idea of a get-together of the german apache people around christmas last year (gee, another six months gone?), this would be a nice thing to have/do. Anyone else interested?

Now, as it is pretty clear that there will be no ApacheCon this year here in Europe, I'd like to pick up the thread another time and suggest a meeting at this years [1]LinuxTag in Karlsruhe (10. - 13.

Note, that there are also some ASF related speakers at LinuxTag including Ken Coar, Rasmus Lerdorf and Christian Egli from Lenya, a Cocoon subproject currently under incubation (schedule and links see below). Perhaps they are also interested and can spend some time on a meeting/party... Ken, Rasmus, Christian? Anyone around here? Well, if there is enough interest for this little happening we should decide some things as soon as possible; the time is short, I know: - who: are there enough people to organize something? - when: possible dates are 10. - 13.

Okay, I'd also like to ping committers@ to ensure that we get the most possible visibility. So, that's it for now... open for discussion... opinions... ? Cheers, Erik BTW, I'll be there at 12. July and maybe I can also make it one day earlier. --- -- References/Links: [1] http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/index.html [2] http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/conferences/program.html [3] http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/expo/marathon.html [4] http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/conferences/free.html [5] http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/expo/prereg.html -- ASF-related sessions I spotted so far: 11.07. -- Seamless Content Management using Cocoon and Openoffice.org Christian Egli, wyona.org http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/conferences/talk.xsp?id=42 Do you PHP?

If it is like the past 2 years, then there will be a constant hackathon happening by the PHP booth for the duration of the conference. This time they have gotten smart and put all us ugly smelly hackers behind the booth so we won't scare off folks wanting to ask newbie questions. -Rasmus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Meeting @ LinuxTag, KA, Germany
Well, for an organized conference, I'd agree. I was thinking more along the meet the faces, go to lunch, get drunk, hang out, talk about cool stuff lines. If some project talks / sessions will get added, this would be even better. :-) Regards Henning On Mon, 2003-06-23 at 10:14, Dirk-Willem van Gulik wrote: On 23 Jun 2003, Henning Schmiedehausen wrote: a meeting @ linuxtag would be a reason for me to go there.

Aye - I more wanted to plant the seed that this community does not ONLY need to rely on the once-a-year somewhere on earth conference; but that local groups who are daring enough, and when they organize more than just a beer bash, are encouraged to ask for a bit of backing.
