So, If there is some kind of information about the hack fest that should 
be published on the hack fest page [1], please let me know. By the way, 
I will put a link in the hack fest page, pointing at the wiki you made a 
days ago, so the people can register themselves.

/Yes, then considering that we can offer a set of free conference 
tickets for those who are willing to participate at the hack fest. Once 
we open the registration form and as soon as the people proceed to 
register to the Conference, we will modify their profile from regular 
attendee (that should pay a the fee for attending the conference) to 
"guest" attendees.

Does this work for you? By the time, the nine registered developers that 
are already registered on the wiki, they will be the first beneficiaries 
of the free tickets for the Conference. Let's see how much free 
conference ticket can we offer... /

/I'm going to send you the desired information to update the wiki page 
for the hack fest. If you want, I can give information about the 
following issues:

Venue, Accommodation, Dining, Transportation, Fun run/walk**, About the 
area, ...

**Are there trail runners among you? There is a nice green area, full of 
paths (upslope and downslope) next to the monastery so, a trail running 
path could be arranged :) On the other hand,we can even organize a 
pleasant walk for the surrounding
