Invitation to Cocoon's GetTogether

[Jeremias Maerki <de...@jeremias-maerki.ch>]

(Just a quick info between dropping my bags after ApacheCon and heading
off tomorrow morning for military service).

I've been approached by Arje Cahn during ApacheCon. He invited me to the
yearly Cocoon GetTogether which (I think) will be in the week before
ApacheCon US in November. I assume this will be in Amsterdam again. I'm
thinking about going and maybe talking about FOP. There will also be a
two-day hackathon and since we have at least two committers from the
Netherlands/Belgium region it might be a good idea to join them and do
our own FOP hackathon there. Could be a good opportunity for a
face-to-face. Will also be a lot cheaper than ApacheCon. :-)

BTW, my FOP talk last week wasn't so great. Only about 7 or 8 listeners
on the second-to-last session of the conference. Last year I had a full
house with the "optimizing" talk.

Have a good week!

Sure, travel and accomodation will produce some expenses but you're
forgetting the rather high fee for attending ApacheCon (for mere mortals
like normal committers, for example) which (sadly) caused many people
not to go there. I hope that'll be better next time. There will probably
be at least a small fee even for ASF members in the interest of making
it a little cheaper for non-members.

I don't think that travel/accomodation will be much cheaper but it
should be easier to travel to Amsterdam (by train or even by car instead
of plane) than to Dublin (at least for me ;-).

Anyway, I think it's a great idea and i'll certainly try to be there.

It will be a pleasure to meet you and perhaps Andreas here in person.

I don't know yet what will be my situation at that time, but I will do 
my best to participate. I would really like having the possibility to 
put faces on all these names.

Andreas, what about you? Could you make it to the Cocoon GetTogether?
One or two days of Hackathon (discussions, hacking, fun). Anyone else?
Jörg, Chris, Finn, Peter, Vincent maybe?

It would really be good to be at least 3 or 4 FOP people to make the
expenses worthwhile.
