so, ok, let's write a little script.

I suspect that the number of people who would be interested in going, 
and don't have rebol installed, are far outweighed by those that 
do, and don't read english.

You don't need cgi either, you can use 

set-net [ "form" 216.40.214.39 ]

in your script, and then 'send the results to you.

graham: i agree, but if you don't read english, how are you supposed 
to attend the conference or speak with each other there?

of course i will just use send in the script.

I guess it should be 

set-net [ "form" "motoko.rebol.it" ]

can't we just keep the users's config? that won't work if you're 
behind proxies or something like that.

Graham: so you want to keep Mac users away from the Devcon do you?

I expect the Mac port to be completed soon enough now that 1.3 is 
out :)

From those who attended the last one, is two days sufficient, too 
much, or not enough time?

graham: depends on number of speakers. we had to rush a lot at last 
one (my speech was reduced from 45 mins to about 10 mins)

have you talked to Carl, if he would come to Italy?

he will.

I think if you're going to pay 1000s of $ to travel so far, then 
that is a real shame to cut short the speakers.

i'd say, No Carl No Party. :)

Cindy has already stated that she has blocked off carl's calendar 
for end of Sept.

ok, you wanted it, so don't blame me. http://www.colellachiara.com/devcon05/survey.r

lunch - later.

Where are you going? You just said that lunch is gonna happen later, 
no? :-)

Find me a language that make it shorter ! (except a phone call, that's 
just 12 number ;-)

does that script seem ok to you?

How about "Lake Como"? Only 30 min outside of Milan, and quite a 
sight from what I have heard.

well, it will depend how expensive is such hotel :-)

if there's time, we could do a trip there. but... not sure about 
the time part :)

Gabriele - do you have beer in Italy? :-)

If so, I don't need to trvell much :-)

travel

I was thinking about organizing the conference in Lake Como, if possible; 
Nice surroundings.

May I ask why Milan?

a reboler that works in a school near milan offered to host the conference.

Ok. Then thats a good reason.

Is the location for the conference a school?

yes. a high school.

I have thought it will be big show. Some small hotel or so :-) But 
that would be surely more expensive ...

If you are searching for hotels, try: www.hrs.de It's on of the best 
hotel reservation systems I know about.

IIRC they have an english interface as well.

I'm still thinking if I go by plane or by car. As I live in the south-west 
of Germany, I could pick-up some people.

petr: i think the school has big rooms.

but I need a restaurant too :-) Hope there will be some after-party 
in the evening? :-)

I would welcome if interim releases would be commented in the same 
way, as Carl did with View 1.3 Build Change Log. It keeps ppl informed 
....

petr: oh sure there will be restaurants in the area. and we'll be 
sure to pick the best ones. food is very good in italy :-)

That's true... and red-wine. And the girls in Milan too :-))

Wackos.... (I can't go lol)

very exciting.  seems an excellent idea to use the school, better 
facilities than a hotel, and likely all the equipment for classes 
(projectors, screens, even overheads maybe?)

And if it's cheaper, may be more people can come.

now the dates.   If anyone of us is about to go there and reserve 
flights and hotels... the sooner the date is known, the sooner its 
possible to try and make it.

someone has to take charge and decide and become the focal point 
of the organisation, otherwise its going to become hard to get there.... 
airfares cost more as deadlines are closer...

But often hotels become cheaper the closer to the deadline.

so far 8 people sent in the survey email. we need a bit more to decide 
for dates and so on.

did u try sending the survey to other 'interest' groups
