[GT2005] News, vote and more news
Howdy fellow Cocoonies,
lots of GetTogether news, and a call for advise.
The Cocoon GetTogether will be travelling this year, in a bold and
unprecedented move to check the quality of ribs across the globe. Our
first stop will be in xxx Amsterdam xxx, during the first week of
October. OK, that's hardly a adventurous distance from Ghent, but it'll
do for our first edition abroad, won't it?
Adding to this bold move, we're also adding an extra day to the
Hackathon, providing us with two long days to hack on our beloved
project, and be tempted to go and visit Amsterdam. Or not. Whatever.
:-)
Arjé Cahn (from Hippo) and I went location scouting a few weeks ago,
and we've found two really cool places to put our Cocoon tents up.
Pending logistical arrangements, we'll be geeking out in either (or
both, rather) the Felix Meritis (http://www.felix.meritis.nl/) and the
Nemo (http://www.e-nemo.nl/). The Felix Meritis is an elegant
historical building along the Amsterdam "Grachten" - the canals - and
the Nemo is a Science museum (!), located in the water. Both in easy
reach of public transportation, and close to the heart of Amsterdam -
I'm sure Amsterdam will be a worthy competitor of Ghent location-wise.
;)
I've put up some pictures of the buildings + rooms in the Flickr group
pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/cocoongt2005/pool/
Arjé has volunteered to be our local host this year - of course with
plenty of assistance from me, and I hope also from some other
volunteers as well. I'm thrilled to see the GetTogether "going places"!
Now, about the vote: we have rooms reserved for the entire first week
of October, but need to decide on the first or last part of the week.
So please indicate your preference (and reply to the dev list for
easier counting):
Yes, I'm thinking of attending the Cocoon GetTogether 2005 in
Amsterdam, preferably on
[ ] 3/4/5 October (Mon->Wed)
[ ] 5/6/7 October (Wed->Fri)
That's all for now, expect more to hear from Arjé or me in the future!
Cheers,
</Steven>

It would help in deciding if we had an indication of start / end times
and social events, etc.
In previous years, there's been a great chance to grab beers with
people the night before, which effectively means arriving on a Sunday
or a Tuesday. If that's the case this year too, then I'm in favour of
3/4/5 ...
Presumably you're aiming for hackathon on days 1&2, with day 3 for the
main presentations?
Also, is it worth trying to do a deal with one of the larger hotels in
Amsterdam, so as many of us as possible are all in one place, possibly
securing a reduction in price?
Hurry up October, I can't wait!
Andrew.

This will be better for people that don't visit the Hackathon, but only the
conference I guess. They can visit Amsterdam visit at the weekend without
taking additional holiday days.

It would help in deciding if we had an indication of start / end times
and social events, etc.
In previous years, there's been a great chance to grab beers with
people the night before, which effectively means arriving on a Sunday
or a Tuesday. If that's the case this year too, then I'm in favour of
3/4/5 ...

Well, I've already spoken to my boss and have tentatively worked
something out with him. Mon - Wed would probably be better for me as I
plan to stay a few extra days as I've never been to Europe at all, so
I'll do a little sight seeing afterwards. I'd appreciate any advice
regarding car rentals and places to see that are close by to wherever we
are.

Same here, mostly because I *want* to go, and there's an extremely small
chance I can actually make it this year.

Great news! I always wanted to visit Amsterdam, even though I loved
Ghent.

I.e. it makes no difference to me.
