I already replied on wiki on eelco's popup about the meeting around apache con eu. My idea was also tue (on the training day) or fri (after conf) but fri is a bit to late, last sessions start at 15:00 and every body would be a bit worn down i guess.
So maybe the friday before it does make sense except for the people that will not follow the trainings anyway... 2007/12/4, Arje Cahn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > Just to warn you all - I've taken the liberty of making some reservations > around the ApacheCon :) > There's two possible locations: the building we were in, or another one > which is quite NEXT to the ApacheCon venue (Pakhuis de Zwijger [1]). > > I've booked for the Friday before the ApacheCon (April 4), monday 7 and > tuesday 8 of april. > But I really need to discuss this with the ApacheCon Planners, as I don't > want to mess with their training schedules on monday and tuesday (which are > very important for ApacheCon revenues).
