Emacs Barcamp

Emacs Barcamp

[Ivan Kanis]

Hi,

Following the success of the emacs conference, Bastien and I would like
to arrange a barcamp. This is something informal involving about twelve
persons. I envision this to be in Europe. It would be in French or
English, I don't care.

I am good at organizing stuff. I am a bad MC and bad speaker. I can show
two people how to have fun programming lisp.

Let's focus on the basic questions:

Where?

Someone mentioned Stockholm I think but I can't recall who.
I know of two places in Paris

When?

Early December

Who?

Well, just respond.

And what's next?

It was I that mentioned Stockholm. Our company has an office we could
probably use. But I think places to be are probably easy to come by, so
do what you feel is easiest!

I expect I could offer physical space in Berlin or Hamburg, either at
SoundCloud (Berlin) or ThoughtWorks (Hamburg)

I probably wouldn't attend if it's a weekend thing though so this would
have to be a last resort.

How many people can sit at your office meeting room? I would like to
visit Stockholm.

Take care,

I would like to be about 12. More is too much for me to handle.

Is Swedish beer any good ? :)

Hmm not as compared to the great beer nations of Europe.
But there are acceptable swedish beers, and theres large amounts of
imported beer.

The company usually keeps enough beer for 12 people in the fridge.
(I'm not exactly sure since I dont drink alcohol since approx 2009)

To use the office I must be able to attend, and I'm doing some traveling
this autumn.

BTW with only 12 people it would be fun to do stuff like hands-on
sessions and hacker sessions, WDYT?

That's the spirit of a barcamp! Let's wait on Bastien's reply.

BTW Me and Daimrod will attend
http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2013/paris/
so at least two Emacs hackers will be there.

We could have an additional Emacs event there for interested parties.

It's too soon for me. I need to plan about three months ahead.

I will be there two, so that's at least three now!

I will attend friday and saturday afternoon.

Sylvestre just confirmed me we can sit at IRILL on sunday,
so if people are interested in doing their Emacs homework
then, that will be one possibility.

For small events, I find it easier to set a date and a location
then call for participation.

Calling for participation before setting the date and location does
not work very well, unless you want a lot of people to attend, and
try to get the best date for most of them.

So I suggest we coordinate with each other, set the date/location
in Paris, then announce it publicly.

What do you think?
