[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (Italy)!?

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear all,
I've been thinking of getting an OSGeo "hacking" or code sprint event  
setup in an Italian monastry. Friends of mine take care of the place  
which is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to 25 people in  
small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest places for such  
an event. Quiet, isolated and serene. There's a good wireless and  
wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my hand on it if we  
all start to download satellite images. It should be perfect for SVN,  
IRC and mail.

The cost would be about 200 Euro per person for the week (food not  
included, we can organize that separately). There's a large kitchen  
and large dining space. Obviously since the weather most likely  
permits, we would eat outside overlooking the lake.

Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery:

Are people interested in such a thing? Looking at availability of the  
place, best would be June or possibly in May (not always available!).

If there's enough interest, I can start getting people to sign up and  
get a booking done. There would be 7 days time, so it can also be  
divided into smaller time chunks that are occupied by different  
projects.

Let me know, greetings from Rome,
Jeroen
