We got a lot of interest for this meeting and would like to announce |
31 |
that we will have a gathering in Oldenburg, Germany on Friday 23 till |
32 |
Sunday 25 September. |
33 |
|
34 |
To reduce the costs the meeting will be shared with the Oldenburg Linux |
35 |
Developers Meeting 2005 group: http://meeting.ffis.de/Oldenburg2005/ |
36 |
There will be cheap accommodation for those that bring their own |
37 |
sleeping bags and mattress. See for more information on Oldenburg and |
38 |
how to get there by car, train or plane: |

If you haven't added your name to the interested people list on the wiki |
43 |
please do so soon: http://java.debian.net/index.php/DevJam |
44 |
We hope people can arrive on Thursday evening so we can start fresh and |
45 |
early on Friday 23th of September. |
46 |
|
47 |
Since we know that there has also been a lot of interest of people |
48 |
outside Europe we would like to make this our "European" meeting and |
49 |
schedule a "Worldwide" or "Regional" DevJam++ meeting in a couple of |
50 |
months to give more people the opportunity to attend. If you are |
51 |
interested in helping to organize that please add suggestions to the |
52 |
Wiki: http://java.debian.net/index.php/DevJam++ |
53 |
|
54 |
Cheers, |
