Re: [Ghm-discuss] Let's make it official: choose the date

[Jose E. Marchesi]

    I've spoken with Sylvestre Ledru, who has reserved the same large room
    we used in 2011, plus another which might be useful for informal
    meeting, from Thursday August 22th to Sunday August 25th.

Great!  Thanks for the effort you are dedicating to this :)
    
    Four days seem a little long to me, but we could maybe say that the
    venue is available for informal hacking sessions on Thursday and Sunday,
    while the "official" talks happen on Friday and Saturday.  Or shall we
    make it Saturday and Sunday morning?  People who have to work on Monday
    will want to travel on Sunday, so at least Sunday afternoon should be
    free from talks in my opinion.
    
    What do you think?  Let's make this official as soon as possible.

4 days sounds good to me.  For Thrusday I would just do a social event
in the afternoon/evening, and for Sunday I would plan just for half of
the day.  So the real "program" of the meeting would be from Friday
morning to Sunday midday.
    
    a) informal meeting/hacking on Thursday 22 and Sunday 25, talks on
       Friday 23 and Saturday 24

I would choose a) but having also an "GNU assembly" Sunday morning (only
for GNU maintainers and GNU developers) much like we had in the last GHM
at Paris.

I can coordinate the agenda for the assembly if you want.
    
    We would also like to know how many people are likely to attend.  So, if
    you're seriously considering this, please answer.  We'll set up official
    "Registration" information later, even if I'd like to keep this side of
    the organization as lightweight as possible.

Add me to the list :)
