| Chris | Reichart: you have me sold -- when is 'DevCon '08: Maui'? | 12 May 05:36:58 |
| DaveC | Brock: Many thanks for the info. I'll have a look at that if it's available. I would like to use something similar myself. | 12 May 07:20:49 |
| Pekr | I hope open source part is not GPL! | 12 May 07:26:17 |
| btiffin | Pekr; At this stage of the game, I doubt anyone wants to risk losing corporate involvement. So I'll add a ditto, me too. |
12 May 08:05:56 |
| Reichart | Well, if we can actually get enough interest in Maui, then I will get real about when is the best time. Prob, plan it for when prices are cheapest for everyone. | 12 May 10:51:10 |
| Robert | If, I will add a holiday. Hence it really requires a long pre-planning phase. | 12 May 11:56:47 |
| Reichart | In Germany, do you have a tax advantage (a write off) for travel expenses for such things as confrences? | 12 May 12:10:44 |
| Pekr | I just looked at flight prices and it is like 1000 Euro just to get there :-( | 12 May 12:21:07 |
| Pekr | whole Paris devcon would cost me half that price, if I would go ... | 12 May 12:21:38 |
| Reichart | Yes, not cheap to do it in Maui.......................but still worth considering. Paris is fun.................Maui is.............Amazing........... | 12 May 13:09:44 |
| Robert | Tax: Not if I stay two weeks ;-) But anyway... my tax accounting consultant should know a good trick. And how long is the flight? From Frankfurt to San Francisco it's 11h. And than another 6h? | 12 May 13:33:17 |
| Ashley | Got my vote for Maui, off-peak airfare would be nice but is not essential. Yes as a tax write-off. | 12 May 15:02:13 |
| eFishAnt | My vote is Sydney or Brisbane (Sydney easiest for air connections) due to the diversity of things to do there during the conference. And maybe next year my project load won't be so heavy and rushed. | 12 May 15:59:17 |
| eFishAnt | (Australia) | 12 May 15:59:50 |
| eFishAnt | London would also be cool | 12 May 16:13:41 |
| eFishAnt | my 2 cents worth | 12 May 16:13:55 |
| Kaj | Maui hot, London cool ;-) | 12 May 16:28:14 |
| eFishAnt | good comeback for a foreigner...;-) | 12 May 16:31:10 |
| Kaj | Thanks :-) | 12 May 16:34:59 |
| Kaj | Have to practise: I should be in London next year | 12 May 16:35:30 |
| Kaj | Well, England anyway | 12 May 16:35:43 |
| Geomol | Copenhagen! Anyone? :-) | 12 May 16:37:20 |
| eFishAnt | It's a joy to see how great these Devcons are getting. Such a great community in REBOL. We could call these the REBOL world domination tours. | 12 May 16:38:07 |
| eFishAnt | Copenhagen! very awesome...I would love that. | 12 May 16:38:27 |
| eFishAnt | We all need an injection of new technology every once in a while, so we don't otherwise go into withdrawal. | 12 May 16:40:36 |
| Kaj | I just heard that Copenhagen was named the most boring city of Sweden :-) | 12 May 16:45:56 |
| Chris | Hmm, how about Arran? Do you really want to trust a DevCon to the English? :P | 12 May 16:46:54 |
| eFishAnt | I thought it was in Denmark....;- | 12 May 16:46:56 |
| Geomol | LOL | 12 May 16:47:00 |
| Kaj | My Danish friend told me so | 12 May 16:47:17 |
| eFishAnt | I thought Americans were bad with geography. | 12 May 16:47:37 |
| Kaj | It was elected as such in Sweden, on historical grounds :-) | 12 May 16:47:41 |
| Kaj | Geography is like a fractal. Even if Americans would make an effort to know about it, there would be no hope zooming in | 12 May 16:49:25 |
| eFishAnt | Arran, also a choice spot (seriously). How could I have left it out? (And while we're at it, let's give Ireland back to the Irish!) | 12 May 16:49:31 |
| Geomol | http://www.copenhagen.com | 12 May 16:49:39 |
| eFishAnt | I can't wait until I have time to watch every single Devcon video and absorb what all was presented. Italy was fantastic last year. One dose lasts me for a whole year. | 12 May 16:50:36 |
| Reichart | Robert, fly to LA, stay at my LA place...enjoy LA, then fly to Maui (5 hours). I tend to fly out in the morning, and arrive by noon in Maui. | 12 May 17:12:40 |
| Reichart | Of note, I don't push hard for Maui because I live here, I push because I have traveled around the world, and I think YOU GUYS would have the most fun, do the most "different things" and collectively have a more rich experience. Since Maui is a place of the sun…we would play in the day partially, and do the DevCon in the afternoon and evenings. Everything would be done differently…it would be very cool. Swim with turtles and dolphins and perhaps whales in the morning, learn about comparative languages and new programming tricks in the afternoon. Eat the freshest fish you will every have for dinner, then enjoy a lecture outside in the warm air with the sky completely filled with stars you did not know were even there! |
12 May 17:17:23 |
| Kaj | No argument here. My mother was saved by dolphins in Hawaii last month | 12 May 17:44:29 |
| Gregg | Saved by dolphins? | 12 May 17:50:16 |
| Gregg | It sounds like we need to start a schedule for DevCons. :-) | 12 May 17:50:47 |
| Kaj | She snorkled out too far into the ocean, and was brought back by two dolphins. Apparently a common occurrence there | 12 May 18:12:04 |
| Anton | That's pretty cool :-) | 12 May 18:15:18 |
| Pekr | cool Dolphines :-) | 12 May 19:05:43 |
| Pekr | if DevCon would be in Europe, I vote for Amsterodam - 1) Maarten could help with organisation 2) I listen to two Dutch bands 3) you can legally smoke marijuana there - that would be cool beginning of innovative ideas to devcon - to smoke Carl and talk about Rebol possibilities ;-) | 12 May 19:07:51 |
| Maarten | I like the concept of the "World Domination Tour" (WDT). | 12 May 20:34:03 |
| Rebolinth | Yep if its Amsterdam then www.rebol.nl is for use ;-) | 12 May 21:53:51 |
| Rebolinth | But i prefer the holiday in Maui ;-) | 12 May 21:54:41 |
| Rebolinth | Im realy proud actualy to see Rebol grow the way it has (sounds silly but it is), there are susch a load of people doing so many intesting things with Rebol its realy refreshing to see the time and science they put it their projects..fantastic... | 12 May 21:59:41 |
| Rebolinth | <rusty-keyboard> | 12 May 22:00:29 |
