OpenOffice.org HackFest 2010

Dear OOo hackers,

the OOoCon just ended, and we realize how little time we can spend 
together face2face each year. To properly fix that problem, we hereby 
announce the next event around OpenOffice.org - a HackFest in Hamburg, 
specifically targeted to developers, to give all of us more face time & 
collectively work on the code.

The OpenOffice.org HackFest will take place on the weekend of November 
6./7. 2010 in the "Attraktor" in Hamburg, and a tentative program could 
look like this:

     * Friday night - beer & fun, warming up
     * Saturday morning - Intro talks, Hands-on sessions
     * Saturday afternoon/night - collective hacking, bug fixing
     * Sunday morning - wrap-up, review, document

For those who are in need for a bursary, we have a limited travel 
funding budget available. For sleeping, couchsurfing at the organizers 
is available. Be aware that would be in an unheated loft, so bringing a 
sleeping mat and a good sleeping bag would be essential. For more 
comfortable reasonably priced acommodations see the wiki page at 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Sleeping_in_Hamburg

We look forward to meet you there, stay tuned for further announcements 
around programme and sponsoring! To register yourself, just drop a short 
note to [email protected] and we'll follow up with further 
information soon.
