Hello

we're given a unique opportunity to have a Gentoo mini-conference / workshop in
Prague, CZ. In short, Michal Hrusecky and me (both Gentoo developers and SUSE
employees) are going to organize the annual openSUSE conference, and this year
we are going to co-host it with a local Czech conference. After a short talk
with the guys, they are going to give us a room for a weekend, for Gentoo
presentations / workshops. Apart from having room to do our stuff just between
us, we can do workshops and introductions to Gentoo for other people attending
the conference and promote Gentoo in general. And by the way, the University
servers and desktops are running mostly on Gentoo!

Along with that, there are going to be some parties and other fun activities
(eg city tour) during those days. I would like very much to have a gathering of
the Developer community mostly, so we can hack together and lower our buglists!

I'd like to know what our community thinks about that though, if you want to
come, to help etc, since I don't want to organize it and be there by myself :)

You can find some more information here:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-conference/2012-04/msg00029.html

PS:  We'll try to get buses from Germany in lower prices, since many Gentoo and
     SUSE/openSUSE people live there

core.

Ok, a little bit more information if anybody is considering whether to
come or not (please express you opinions, so Theo will get more
feedback), I spoke with guy from university, they are just migrating
their last Solaris servers to Gentoo and they are really excited about
having at least Gentoo track on the conference. So audience is not a
problem as plenty of students and teachers is using Gentoo everyday
there ;-) But we would really love to have more people excited about
the idea and coming.

I'm excited about the idea (will be in Prague first week of June to do
pre-explorations ;)), is there a date set already?  Time is the most
prominent problem here.

Hard to say when we don't know when it is ;) Yeah, i googled ofc, and it's 
going to be end of October/ beginning of November[1] (for anyone else who 
hasn't searched yet.)

Sounds great: not sure if I'll make it, (I'll have to see nearer the time, 
but I would like to; Prague is a *beautiful* city) but I wish you all the 
best with it.

I sent them already in my duplicate mail [1] (and as a reply to this
thread), the Gentoo part could take place for the weekend 20-21
October

Well, I certainly like the idea, and will try to come... :) in general willing 
to contribute, but right now it's still very early for (my) planning...

Yeah same for me. Far too early to plan anything

There's a chance I will be in Germany immediately afterwards to speak at 
EclipseCon Europe (was invited, just need to work out travel funding), 
so I might be able to swing in a couple days early for this. 
Unfortunately it overlaps with the GSoC mentor summit, but that's life.
