It's a joy to see how great these Devcons are getting.  Such a great 
community in REBOL.  We could call these the REBOL world domination 
tours.
Copenhagen!  very awesome...I would love that.
We all need an injection of new technology every once in a while, 
so we don't otherwise go into withdrawal.

I just heard that Copenhagen was named the most boring city of Sweden 
:-)

Hmm, how about Arran?  Do you really want to trust a DevCon to the 
English? :P

I thought Americans were bad with geography.

It was elected as such in Sweden, on historical grounds :-)
Geography is like a fractal. Even if Americans would make an effort 
to know about it, there would be no hope zooming in

Arran, also a choice spot (seriously).  How could I have left it 
out?  (And while we're at it, let's give Ireland back to the Irish!)

I can't wait until I have time to watch every single Devcon video 
and absorb what all was presented.  Italy was fantastic last year. 
 One dose lasts me for a whole year.

Robert, fly to LA, stay at my LA place...enjoy LA, then fly to Maui 
(5 hours).  I tend to fly out in the morning, and arrive by noon 
in Maui.
Of note, I don't push hard for Maui because I live here, I push because 
I have traveled around the world, and I think YOU GUYS would have 
the most fun, do the most "different things" and collectively have 
a more rich experience.


Since Maui is a place of the sun…we would play in the day partially, 
and do the DevCon in the afternoon and evenings.  Everything would 
be done differently…it would be very cool.


Swim with turtles and dolphins and perhaps whales in the morning, 
learn about comparative languages and new programming tricks in the 
afternoon.  Eat the freshest fish you will every have for dinner, 
then enjoy a lecture outside in the warm air with the sky completely 
filled with stars you did not know were even there!

No argument here. My mother was saved by dolphins in Hawaii last 
month

Saved by dolphins?
It sounds like we need to start a schedule for DevCons. :-)

She snorkled out too far into the ocean, and was brought back by 
two dolphins. Apparently a common occurrence there

cool Dolphines :-)
if DevCon would be in Europe, I vote for Amsterodam - 1) Maarten 
could help with organisation 2) I listen to two Dutch bands 3) you 
can legally smoke marijuana there - that would be cool beginning 
of innovative ideas to devcon - to smoke Carl and talk about Rebol 
possibilities ;-)

I like the concept of the "World Domination Tour" (WDT).

Yep if its Amsterdam then www.rebol.nl is for use ;-)
But i prefer the holiday in Maui ;-)
Im realy proud actualy to see Rebol grow the way it has (sounds silly 
but it is), there are susch a load of people doing so many intesting 
things with Rebol its realy refreshing to see the time and science 
they put it their projects..fantastic...

Hi, back from DevCon. It was AMAZING!

Re: next DevCon location, there was a push from the so-called 'czech 
connection' for next DevCon to be in CZ, but Maui is really nice 
idea.

But I have to sell both my liver and kidney to get there, so I'll 
wait for some closer location in following years :)

You're not using Rebol correctly if you have sell a liver... : )

One kidney and a piece of liver at most  :)

How about Montreal, It would be "half way" for all those in the northern 
hemisphere...

Montreal is a great city

Probably I'm not. Sound synthesis in Rebol is really not the straightest 
way to become millionare :)
But it's pretty fun thing to do :))

Is there anyone who went to devcon 2007 who wishes to write a report 
on the conference?  If so, we can publish on the rebolweek blog
No takers??

Graham I wanted to write something, but I'm not sure when I'll get 
some time to do it.

I started a checklist here for people to put their favorite highlights 
from Devcon into it (maybe useful in the future for ideas, and also 
a way for people to learn more)

Hello everybody
back from the Devcon
sorry for the technical difficulties during my speech
I trained with another computer where I was able to switch the keyboard 
layout to English as opposed to the small tablet-like device
...where the attached keyboard was the worst possible according to 
french people - half Apple, half Windows layout

ladislav, sorry to hear that. it was a bit difficult to make out 
what you said, and it didn't help that the camera hardly ever pointed 
at the screen.

So, was the whole thing recorded, unrelated to the streams?  In other 
words, did someone have a DigitalVideoCamera recording everything?

somebodydaid there was an iSight (apple) camera next to the stream 
camera.

I saw the isight on day one, attached to a macbook pro, sitting about 
half a meter to the left of the webcam.
