Also see my reply on the other thread. Personally I think that most of us
are on a relatively tight budget so €60 / person / night seems like quite a
lot...

Ping. Yea I'll try and stay at least one extra day (FWIW: I've not booked 
anything yet).

Just a quick reminder: Is anyone else up for such a post-camp hack day?

I think this is a great idea. I'm looking into the possibility of
attending, but that weekend is a bit complicated with some university
and moving commitments (Monday OTOH would be fine). I'd like to push
PyGI/GTK3 porting as the main activity of such a hack day...
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/GTK3

Please keep me informed on accommodation as well.

[IAEP] Anyone up for a post Sugar Camp Hack Day? (was: Registration for the Sugar Camp in Paris (sept) are now open)

2011-08-03 Thread Christoph Derndorfer
Hi all,

speaking to Sascha earlier today he mentioned the idea of having a small
post Sugar Camp Hack Day or something.

I had already bought my flights for September 9 (Friday) to 14 (Wednesday)
anyway so I'll definitely be in town. I assume many others of the registered
participants (
http://fr.amiando.com/olpcfrance-sugarcamp2011.html;jsessionid=57C0354E37E6A4A314890B401B6EEF56.web02?page=571393)
are buying their tickets these days as well so it would be good to get a
head count of who would be up for such an event:-)

On another related question:

Have people figured out where they're staying while in Paris? As Sean's
urban camping site won't be available this time around I assume many of us
will stay at hostels. As the last Sugar Camp and also eduJAM! demonstrated
staying in one place tends to make things a lot easier, more productive, and
more fun so we should maybe try to do that again:-)

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Christoph
