as I was saying before my fat fingers got in the way...

Martin's got a potentially very cool venue for us, as well as a software project that's looking to convert to pike, along with the potential for some local pike users to show up.

I know that there was some question about whether or not a conference is even necessary, but we (martin and I) think a conference is good for keeping people excited about pike, and it lets us all show off our hard work from the past year. It's also a great opportunity to meet new people, and to meet some of us in person.

As always, your thoughts and feedback are most welcome.

Best regards,

Bill

I haven't heard any feedback on the proposal I made earlier this week about having a Pike conference in October. I'm hoping that's just because so many people are on holiday. Does anyone out there have an opinion one way or the other? It doesn't have to be "official"... we're just looking for feedback.

Greetings!

I'm working with Martin Bähr to set up a Pike conference later this year. We had a number of viable options (which was gratifying in itself), and we've narrowed these down to a proposed date and location. We wanted to get some feedback on that to see if there were any big conflicts with anyone out there (obviously, we'd like to have as many folks from IDA as possible, assuming they're interested :)) Right now, we're looking at a conference in Essen, Germany starting somewhere in the first full week of October, the 11th through the 17th. Ideally, the conference would include one or two weekend days so that those who are unable to get time from work would be able to attend.

Once we get a date set, we can start working out the details... Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?
