Hi all, Let me take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the LibreOffice Hamburg Hackfest 2012. The city of Hamburg has throughout history taken its freedom and independence as a high treasure -- as can be seen from its motto: "Libertatem quam peperere maiores digne studeat servare posteritas". Thus it is a great place for an event of a project that takes freedom as serious as LibreOffice does.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2012 As a proud local, I also decided to guide some sightseeing on Friday afternoon for people interested, so if you arrive early you might get to see some of the beautiful corners of Hamburg. After that we will meet up with everyone in the Schachcafe close to the Hackfest location for a beer event. Saturday and Sunday then will be two days of hacking, learning, teaching, connecting and implementing great ideas at the Attaktor, one of the homebases of the Chaos Computer Club, which has an interesting history starting with tales of international spionage during the cold war and much more (see Wikipedia and links on the Hackfest page). They have become older, wiser and tamer at least a bit since then, but still originate cool projects like Project Blinkenlights. Nerdshirt.de kindly sponsors us ten T-shirts for the participants. We just decided to give those to the first ten people, who added themselves to the participant list completely with their name and shirtsize(*). First come, first serve here as is with travel bursaries and couch surfing, which is kindly provided by some of the Hamburg Hackers. So please add yourself as a participant to the Hackfest at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2012 and add topics that you would like to discuss or work on -- we will try to find a mentor for you then. Looking forward to see you all in Hamburg! Bjoern (*) If you think this is some evil plot to get you to register early, you might be onto something, but please do not tell anybody! -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
