[OSGeo-Discuss] Last chance before cancelling: OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (Italy)!?

[Chris Holmes]

Oh shoot.  We were discussing this internally for awhile (maybe too 
long...).  I think TOPP can commit to funding at least 6 of our people 
to come.  And potentially another 4-5 if things work out well and 
there's some other OpenLayers critical mass.  And we're hoping to 
encourage some other GeoServer devs to come.

Any chance there's another 6 people that could confirm participation? 
Or a chance that we could rent just half of the place?
