Arianne Project Meeting 2010: Difference between revisions

'''In order to celebrate the 5th birthday of Stendhal (and the 10 1/2 birthday of Arianne) we are going to have a meeting in real life.'''

It's for anyone who has contributed to Arianne and Stendhal, past and present. The activities will include a day of talks from key speakers from the project (past and present). Also there'll be some social events - dinner and a party.

I'll be spreading the word on the forum, mail list, and so on - but if anyone is in touch with people from the project (past or present) who may not see the notices, do feel free to tell them.

Of course, we'll need to know rough numbers to help plan, and so we'll be asking people to let us know if they will be attending (or might be attending) - more details on that tonight.

In case anyone is wondering why Germany and specifically Hannover was chosen - our developers (past and present) are spread wide across the world, though mostly centred around Europe, and Germany seemed to be a mid point. It's a place where one can get along fine without speaking the native language, English is ok, and there are developers local to there who can assist in organisation. Also Hannover is a central node on the high speed train network, so it should be very much accessible. For example if flights are cheaper to some other North German city, then flight + train may be a good option.
