Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you a heads up about a couple of things regarding the hackfestsite -
- Onthe Monday, Red Hat is also going to host a SpinachCon event on the other side of the space we'll be in. It's a 4 hour event (from 1-5 pm IIRC) where free software projects can come and have their software usability tested. The organizers (including Deb Nicholson) would be more than happy to test Inkscape as part of the event if there's any interest in that. If there are specific components you'd like tested, I can help create a testing plan.
- There may be another co-hosted event in the morning on Monday, still sorting the details out.
- On the Tuesday and Wednesday, Red Hat is also hosting an event that will involve a workshop and hacking on amedical image processing system that we're working on with Boston University and Boston Children's Hospital. It's a really cool project. If anyone attending has an interestin learning more, you are more than welcome to get involved.
I don't expect either event to be disruptive to the hackfest; it's a large space and we have two floors and a variety of different areas to work inand a lot of seating. I just wanted to let you know ahead of time, especially in case you wanted to take advantage of SpinachCon testing.If you have a preference towards the type of space you'd prefer (large conference room with door; open meet up space; lounge-y type area with couches and tables and chairs) I can note in our reservation now that's the part we'd like for the Inkscape hackfest; if you're not sure I can give youa tour when you get here on the Monday morning and we can figure out which end of the office to claim.
Cheers,

Sounds like a good place to hand out inkscape stickers. :D

Thanks Máirín,
I think the other events won't be a problem at all.
I'd like to do a walk through with you before the Monday if you have time. The idea is to nail down where we are going to be and what sorts of arrangements I might need to make for snacks or drinks, any equiptment we might need etc.
We like to hit the ground running with a meeting on the Monday.
Speaking of Mondays, the day before Monday is Sunday and in the evening we'll be going to Grendel's Den for a social drink. Anyone who's flown in and isn't fast asleep is welcome to join and I can round up people from their hotels so we can go together. I'll ask on the day too, jet lag is sometimes hard to predict.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
Hi Martin,
Sure, I'm generally around Mon-Wed; I'll be in tomorrow if you have time then or next Mon-Wed would work.
