Where I can stay depends highly on the price as always. I would be happy
to stay with the other PHP people at the hotel you rent anyway, if there
is space and the price is OK. It would be nice to fix the
arrival/departure date so I can check the trains and know how much
nights I'll stay there.
Of course, that's a problem. As you know I found some sponsors for the last docmeeting to cover flights, accomodation etc. The PHP booth on LinuxTag is completly covered and organized by the community, and we need ~7.000 Euros to cover expenses for booth, speakers etc. So currently I don't know, if we are able to give an allowance for PHP-Doc Meeting. An additional room for one day in LinuxTag (which has to be payed) should be not a problem, finding some additional sponsors is. Currently the hotel is not fixed/booked yet, looks like we will stay outside of karlsruhe, price for a single room is ~30 Euros.
I think I will be able to cover the train and accomodation expenses, don't worry about this. Maybe there is someone who has no problems with staying with me in a double room :) I am used to the hostel kind of accomodation, and this way we would be able to save some money. In case someone is interested ;)
Currently I'm working 500 km's away from home - so I have to spend my spare time on weekends for LinuxTag organisation/preparation - I'm definetly not able to organize/prepare the docmeeting as in 2002 - this should be done by someone else.
Well, I think I can prepare the content of that [RFCs, topics], and can also contact the guys who will probably be there if they are interested. But I am unable to organize anything that would be needed locally (room, network, power, anything...).
That would be fine with me. BTW is there any need for more people for
the booth? I can offer my help to reply to website/doc related
questions, English only ;) If that helps any. Maybe for one day, I am
not sure I would be happy to be there all the 3-4 days. I would like to
see Karlsruhe as well ;)
For docmeeting, I prefer the first day of LinuxTag, July 10th. On July 11th and 12th we have lot of interesting talks and workshops around php, mysql, etc.
OK, anybody against this? Should we have the docmeeting afternoon?
Visitors of LinuxTag are a mixture of business people, freaks & hackers, strong php coders and newbies which are interested in Open Source - our goal is to represent PHP, to make it more popular, to give answers for techical questions and problems to increase the confidence in PHP and Open Source. I would be glad if you could help us!
Thanks,
