Re: Perl QA Hackathon 2012
I'd vote for the Carrefour. La Cantine is too expensive for my tastes. Also, like Nicholas I appreciate anything being close to Gare du Nord. Leon To be fair, both places are 5 metro stops away from Gare du Nord (with one change each). Walking distance is 1.6km for Gare du Nord-La Cantine and 3.2km for Gare du Nord-Carrefour Numérique.

We have two possible venues: ** Carrefour Numérique, Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie ** Price: free ** La Cantine ** Price: we have a quote for 5700 EUR for the three days I vote for free, particularly since I would guess that hotels on the outskirts are less expensive as well.

La Cantine would seem to be dependant on finding generous sponsors. And if we had generous sponsors, I'd favor inviting more people from far away than going to the trendy place (which would be perfect if it were free).

I knew I forgot something. :-) Yes, timezone of the hackathon location, which is Europe/Paris, or UTC+1 until the last Sunday of March (March 25), when we will switch to CEST, or UTC+2. -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) No matter how you dress a cow, it still gives milk.

Doubt that I can make it, but I’ll chime in anyway. • Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie is a terrific place. I took my daughter to Cité des enfants a couple of times when we were in France for six weeks in 2008. It was easy to get to via the metro from central Paris, too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theory/sets/72157612509742722/ • That said, nothing beats being in central Paris. But €5700 does seem pretty steep. Either option would be awesome, from the sound of it. Best, David

* Philippe Bruhat (BooK) philippe.bru...@free.fr [2011-11-03T20:25:25] Here are some news about the Perl QA Hackathon 2012. I have very little to offer other than: Good luck, this all sounds fantastic, and I hope I can make it! As others have said, the very expensive venue sounds very nice, but even if somebody wanted to give us €6000, I bet we'd find other things we'd rather fund than a different venue. But I'm not very invested in either choice, and am sure we'll have an excellent environment no matter what, just because of the team. -- rjbs
