We are planning a Skolelinux developer gathering in November/December 2005 ========================================================================== Date: Nov 25th-27th, Dec 2th-4th or Dec 9th-11th 2005 Location: Somewhere in Oslo, Forskningsparken has been suggested Subway: To be announced Map: To be announced The gathering will include work on several topics: - Development - Translation Invitation: The dark and gloomy season is upon us. This is a perfect excuse for teaming up, once again, for a skolelinux developer gathering! This time we decided that we would like to focus on a relatively small and efficient gathering, both in financial terms and when it comes to protecting the working hours of our hard-working developers. To achieve this we would like to, in general, to prioritize financial support for developers and translators. Further to this, to control the costs associated with the developer gathering, we now require all participants who want reimbursements to send an application to styret@friprogramvareiskolen.no *prior* to the gathering. No approval from the board means no money back to you, so make sure this is in order. We have a zero tolerance policy here :-). Unfortunately, we are at this time unable to give travel reimbursements for people from abroad, but the accomodation and the food during the gathering will be covered, as for everybody else. The following dates have been suggested for now: 25-27 Nov, 2-4 Dec or possibly (but this might be too close to Christmas for some of you?) 9-11 Dec. What seems like the best solution for you? Please give us your opinion. Today. When it comes to location, it looks like somewhere in Oslo is the best solution (best location for keeping the gathering as "low budget" as possible), where Forskningsparken has been mentioned as one good alternative. We need one or two local people to assist us in organizing the arrangement. If you think you can help, please contact us *as soon as possible*. Most of an arrangement committee should think of is detailed in Updated information and signup form is already available in and in SVN (it will be continously updated when more information is ticking in) at skolelinux/trunk/www/developer.skolelinux.no/info/prosjektet/delprosjekt/opplegg_utviklertreff_2005-12.txt Please give us an indication of when you would be able to attend so we can fix the dates as quickly as possible. Thanks in advance. Registration: You can register in two ways (once again: after your travel expenses have been approved): - enter your details into the list at the bottom of this file (requires subversion access on developer.skolelinux.no). - send an email message to debian-edu@lists.debian.org or linuxiskolen@skolelinux.no, containing the following information: Subject: Yes, I will participate in the developer gathering Body: - Your name - Your travel expenses. - Which part of the gathering you are joining (technical/testing, translation, system user/documentation, facilitators). - If you are joining us for dinner on Friday and/or Saturday - If you are a developer we want to know which Bug(s) you are going to work on as well.
