Yes, my involvent in the FOSDEM java gathering and the reason I am
calling for a devjam at the same time and location is to increase the
chance of having the people working on free java present and talking
to each other. Please see it as a friendly reenforcement of the
Classpath meeting, and not as a hostile takeover.
At the moment 21 people have signed up on thewiki page and thus
expressed their interest in joining. 7 of these seem to be interested
in sponsoring, at least for the travel. I have no idea what it would
cost to get them there, but the numbers on the page indicate values
around 250 EURO, so I guestimate 7 * 300 EURO = 2100 EURO. That is
not to bad, and should be possible to collect. I hope we get at least
that amount of sponsoring. No idea how much accomidation will cost,
but I'm sure it will be some extra expences. :)
Andreas, how are you doing with collecting sponsoring? How much money
do Debian have left in the "Java pile" left over from last devjam?
I'm not sure I can make it myself, but hope the rest of you will have
a productive meeting even if I have to stay home. :)
Friendly,
