I have dealt with visas before, it is not a big deal to get a new one issued if 
we issue a signed invitation for the event.

Hi,

I am living in Paris now. Just for your information, I will not attend 
to any hackfest if it is not during my holidays, my studies are 
overwhelming me (:P). But if it is during my holidays, and in Europe, I 
will probably come (but I can buy my train tickets myself, from Paris to 
Frankfurt it is approximatively 100EUR (~130$ I think)). Maybe only one 
day, I am not sure...


It would be great, and would speed up the development :)

Okay so far you are truly multinational. It looks like Europe
is the best place for it, maybe Frankfurt is a good choice.

Experience tells me that getting a person from the US to
Europe is roughly 1800$, internal travel in the EU is a bit
cheaper and can probably be had at a medium cost of 1000$ per
person. Which means currently just around 10.000$ in travel
costs alone, board is typically roughly the same so I'll need
to find at least 20.000$ in sponsorships to be on the safe
side. This is given that I can find a venue sponsor as
renting a place is expensive.

Luckily Elementary uses a lot of technology backed by
businesses, e.g. Yorba, Codethink, Fluendo, Canonical and
such, plus I might be able to squeeze a bit out of GNOME and
maybe MonkeySquare can pitch in. It should at least get us a
bit of the way there but it is still a high number to hit, we
may have success using something like ChipIn to gather some
funds as well.

Regardless that is a lot of money which will take some time
to gather. One option that has worked well in the past has
been putting events right after FOSDEM since a lot of
developers go there anyways and occasionally employers can be
convinced to pay for the ticket. I gather you are all
students or otherwise unable to take advantage of such an option.

So a bit of a task ahead it seems. On the plus side this is
going to a challenge which is always a good thing.

I have seen how effective such events have been for other groups and I
think the perfect way to celebrate Luna's release will be holding a 5-7
day event to plan and hack on Luna+1 in person. I have some ideas for
collecting funds for this venture and some good contacts so you can
leave that to me, however if this has any interest I would like to know
how many core developers you have and where you are geographically so to
plan and budget this thing.

Kind regards,
David Nielsen

Hey David,

That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm CC'ing the dev mailing list so we can
see how many devs we have available and able to attend such a hackfest.

As far as where we're located, we're quite distributed across the USA and
Europe haha. I wonder if there's a way to get a map of where everyone is?
