World: r3wp

(or are expecting to be shortly  :-)

I am still waiting for the organizers to pick a hotel so we all stay 
at the same place.

cindy.. maybe you shouldn't wait... maybe you should demand ;-)

its getting a bit last minute IMHO.

so I'll finally get to meet my czech critic master   ;-)

hum pekr and me in the same room.. will people be able to stand such 
a tidal wave of "negativity"  ;-)

better we take turns at each session :-)

ROFL

Maxim - I am not sure you would like it - I snore :-)

alas it is not in the cards for me to attend this year

as long as you don't snore in my sessions I'm ok with that ;-)

:-)

i'm wainting for them to pick an hotel too...

is there some sort of French Cultural thing going on here? (just 
kidding btw) ;)

Just the French Rebolution.

hum so it seems only 3 of 7 of us making it to devcon?... come on 
people, write your name on the checklist ... it takes about 1 minute.

you don't even have to stress with a priority  :-)

i wish it was possible to pay via paypal... :)

I understand everybody is waiting for the organizers to pick a hotel 
so everybody can  stay at the same place.

maybe not everybody, but a few of us yes.

The people from Paris are now checking several possible hotels do 
achieve this. But it is likely that it will not be possible, because 
the conference is taking place in a period when many other colleges 
and universities (Sorbonne,...) are actually organising conferences. 
So are most hotels not able to welcome groups of persons.

The organisers in Paris are now looking for some hotels they can 
recommend.

More news on this soon on he website.

will the conference location be opened late?

I am wondering if there will be a place for people to meet, show 
off and exchange stuff as a group... later during the evening/night?

I probably won't make it this year :-(, will have to wait for the 
DVD. ;-)

I hope there are MVP awards - I nominate Maxim

though i won't be there

<blush>

Website updated with some hotels data; it seems not possible to get 
a central place for everybody down there, for the reason given earlier.Sorry 
for that...

Carl and I are staying at the Hotel Excelsior on rue Cujas.  It has 
good prices, large rooms, internet access, and a patio.  An other 
good choice for the area is Hotel Desmines.

I'm planning to come to the DevCon (my lovely wife will be joining 
me).


Since I will be in Europe, and I can stay longer, if anyone would 
like to meet (for example about Qtask), this would be a good time 
to speak up.  Feel free to post to me privately….

Hotel Excelsior http://www.hotels-paris-hotels-france.com/2-stars-hotels/_paris-hotel-excelsior/Hotel-paris-index-Eng.htm

I'm looking for a place later this year

Reichart: i'd love to have a long talk about qtask and all the other 
stuff :) but i assume you are planning that already.

Yup.

new session added:  "Rencontre: a Rebol Agent-Oriented Middleware" 
by François Jouen

Useful hint for those preparing a DevCon presentation :-)
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/04/powerpoint_bad/

Fairly unhelpful discussion (so far with 8 posts) about DevCon:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3699
Could some Amigans add some substance?

done

Geomol, I see you wrote: "So if you're a programmer, system developer 
or the like, it might be a good idea to visit a REBOL DevCon!"


I hope there will be beginner's sessions? That might attract a few 
more people.

Geomol:see my comments there= AW

DEVCON SITE IS BROKEN  its asking for authentication

I emailed Francois. He says:

<<The server is down. I hope it 'll operational within the day. Sorry>>

Looks like it is back now

ok.  new sessions and speakers added...

Will there be on-line session from DevCon? At least for Carl's keynote 
speach?

Or at least someone active here on AltME, so that we could have few 
comments?

petr, just come to see it live ;)

it's not possible :-( .... just 3 weeks in my new job, no vacation 
.... and I can't claim my boss, that rebol is part of our IT strategy 
.... but maybe once - who knows :-)
