Dear all,
Further to my earlier email (below), I have now created a WIKI page
and filled out the possible weeks that an event could be held.
To make a final booking, I want to be sure to have at least 15 people
that confirm their participation and an indication of at least another
20 people that the have an interest to join. Otherwise it may end up
being an expensive experiment from my side ;-)
You can sign up here:

Please sign up before 8 February, after which a decision will be made.
Greetings,
Jeroen
Dear all,
I've been thinking of getting an OSGeo "hacking" or code sprint
event setup in an Italian monastry. Friends of mine take care of the
place which is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to 25
people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest
places for such an event. Quiet, isolated and serene. There's a good
wireless and wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my
hand on it if we all start to download satellite images. It should
be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail.
The cost would be about 200 Euro per person for the week (food not
included, we can organize that separately). There's a large kitchen
and large dining space. Obviously since the weather most likely
permits, we would eat outside overlooking the lake.
Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery:

Are people interested in such a thing? Looking at availability of
the place, best would be June or possibly in May (not always
available!).
If there's enough interest, I can start getting people to sign up
and get a booking done. There would be 7 days time, so it can also
be divided into smaller time chunks that are occupied by different
projects.
Let me know, greetings from Rome,
Jeroen
