[OSGeo-Discuss] Code Sprint: How Much?

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Thanks for that Lorenzo and Arnulf! Indeed, mark your calendars  
because I've booked the week of 15 – 21st June 2009 in Bolsena.

I would be happy to work with people to try to get sponsorship lined  
up for the event this year. I think last year's event was extremely  
economical from the point of view of participating (ignoring travel  
cost!). The total cost was well under 500 Euro for the full 7 days  
with full boarding.

It will be the same next year, except that for reasons of  
simplification the price will be 500 Euro to participate (again, full  
boarding and a dinner in a special restaurant :-) ). The single  
payment is instead of splitting things up in detail (if you're  
participating 3 or 7 days, eating all nights, or just 2, etc...). We  
have space for about 30 people in total, but more precise details will  
follow on the WIKI later. Start getting organized :-) First come,  
first served.

Suggestions and help to find sponsors are very welcome.

Ciao,
Jeroen
