otherwise, zip or tar are ok for me (but i need to generate the thumbs 
manually)

I have a LOT of pictures.  So will prob send you a zip.

zip is not going to make jpgs smaller ;)

:-) surely not, I would say the archive will be even bigger :-)

However, it is commonly used as a way to pack things into one archive.

Even though the individual items are already compressed.

what i mean is that it won't be any easier/faster than using the 
script (which will save me figuring out how to make the thumbs from 
the zip file ;)

but... i guess that wouldn't be hard, so it's no problem anyway.

gabriele - to get data from .zip, use zip:// scheme .... ah, we don't 
have any, sorry :-)

petr, that's not the problem at all :P

As Graham pointed out, I simply was going to use Zip as a quick way 
to package everything.  Since I was going to break stuff down into 
directories.

Did you all decide where the next Devcon will be?

Who is "you?"

why y'all :)

Talked about Paris, but I'm not sure, if it was definitive.

Paris and Amsterodam were considered here IIRC ....

Historically we've had the eFish (Davis) and then Gabriel (Italy), 
I've heard some talk of Prague. I just throw that out to see if someone 
comes up with a place.

I thought the French Rebols had lobbied for the next one.

I've done some intial venue investigation for Brisbane in 2007 or 
2008

Wow, and Carl thinks I plan ahead!

The problem with the Dev Con timing is that we have grapes to pick 
and crush.  They were unusually late last fall and we probably picked 
them earlier than we would have liked.  About 10 -12 days after picking, 
you have to press the wine.

The French have their own REBOL Day in the spring, it may be this 
month sometime.

I would like to suggest another US location for next fall or postponing 
it to spring 2007.  One requirement is a coordinator to find a reasonable 
place to hold the conference.

French Spring Day seems to be dead before having lived. There were 
some good ideas, but no such good implication to do it AFAIK.

Some cool US cities, Savannah, Georgia,  Fort Lauterdale, Florida, 
 San Francisco, California,  Sedona, Arizona (gives a chance to see 
Grand Canyon for international people) (there are others...) any 
feel for desired location?  (I am glad to help with coordination 
either lead or behind the scenes if someone else steps up to volunteer.)

How about Washington, DC?

Montreal !    (Canada) during the International Jazz Fest (summer) 
I think there are already people wanting/willing to organize it .

many people I've talked to during the devcon 2005 (and since) had 
liked the idea.

and who knows, maybe some of the french might be inclined to come 
too , hehe   ;-)

Sounds like California close to the Sassenranch would be best for 
our fearless leader. Anyone handy at picking grapes and crushing?

devcon: crush/all pick grapes 2006

I like the idea of a group of REBOLs going to Washington DC.

not sure I'd wear a REBOL t-shirt  while visiting the capitol hill. 
   hehe  specially since the O looks a bit like a target  ;-)

Jaime, you're in DC, right?

Maui

:-)

Do we have a winner?

Maui

Maui works for me, but I prefer Brisbane...;-)

Fishguy, you'll be near the water either way.

Gold Coast of Australia is nice :)

Naru? I hear there is some cheap accommodation going there.

Lol, bot Maui and Australia seem very cool to me ;)

time to make a devcon2006 group?

James, yes I am in DC.

What it will be good about DC is that we can promote Rebol to the 
Goverment Agencies here, and all the Universities.

Jaime, by setting up conferences perhaps. Also we could see your 
equipment as well.

Cold?!?

The ocean is like bath water.

Cool = Neato  ?
