One more time...JakartaOne

[Jon Scott Stevens <jo...@latchkey.com>]

Well, given that there is only 19 days until the 26th and given that I
haven't seen any discussion about JakartaOne other than some 'ideas' that
people keep throwing out there (and no actual committee being formed to
handle the planning and no decisions being made), it appears to me that no
one here is actually interested in planning this event so that it will
become a reality, so I guess it won't happen.

I'm not going to be the one doing all the work this time. Sorry.

p.s. The failure of this group to honestly solidify into planning JakartaOne
totally fits into my previous statements about how Jakarta is going to
implode under its own weight as the people who have been doing the brunt of
all the grunt work slowly go away...sigh...

I need to know expected attendance...are we talking 10 people or 800 people?
We can provide the refreshments as well as help with ordering any catering
that you may need (someone...I'm sure the ASF board can be approached about
this...needs to pay for the catering though).

I also still need a timeframe for the event.

#1. Create a xdoc which describes the event (time/date/place/activites) and
make a link to it on the jakarta homepage.
#2. Ask people to RSVP to an email address (I can volunteer to set one up)
so that we can get an approximate head count.
#3. Let me know what types of music you want, if any, and the time frame. I
can find the DJ's to work for free.

:/

I am going to put out a call for talks tonight or tomorrow.  James has
volunteered to help. I got bogged again in regular world again.

As for the rest, if you could give some indication of what would be
necessary for us to do - do we have to arrange for anything in the social
space such as refreshments, or is that available from StudioZ?  Any
suggestions for promotion?

You're going to end up getting pissed at your software
anyway, so you might as well not pay for it. Try Open Source.
