If Thorsten is correct about this (is he?), it is about time to start thinking about solutions. Don't know about you (except for Nicola Ken who only reads mail once a day :-) but I'm not too happy about these delays and the perspective for this to happen a couple of times each month. -- Ferdinand Soethe
Re: Self-organized meet-ups / workshops at Apache Con 2005
Sorry for replying so late, but this mail just reached me. See my reply below. [OT] Mails @all I think apache mail suffers from a worm called "sober". The next attack is expected to happen in 10 days (around 26/27 May). It is once again a windows only thing. More information (in German) can be found http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,356236,00.html.

What are they for ... A place for people to gather and talk to each other about the topic of the session, in this case Apache Forrest. I think that it comes from the saying: "Birds of a feather flock together". Birds that have the same type of feathers, i.e. the same interests, would gather and hang out with each other. Almost all tech conferences have these sessions. Usually there is no schedule, just a place to chat with each other. Anyway, see: http://www.apachecon.com/2005/EU/html/sessions.html > ...and who would you ask > about having one and inviting non-registrants. Keep these two issues separate. You want the session anyway. If you can get non-registrants there, then that is a bonus. I don't know who to ask about either question. Start at http://www.apachecon.com/html/contact.html --David

Re: Self-organized meet-ups / workshops at Apache Con 2005
Has anyone asked for a Birds-of-a-Feather session? I am not sure if non-registrants are allowed there, but maybe. Whatever, it would be a good chance for an extra meeting. --David

To be clear: The three days of the conference are July 20 to 22nd. So we are talking about one of these evenings. -- Ferdinand Soethe
Re: Self-organized meet-ups / workshops at Apache Con 2005
I would be interested in joining both suggested meetings. I'll have a look around if I can get a suitable room (no promises, yet!). For me every evening is fine, except Tue. 19th: I'll do a presentation about Forrest (in German) at an informal meeting of usability professionals.

As far as I can tell, we could have two separate meet-ups: 1.
