Thanks Karsten, I have also just spoken to Mike, who is looking into the facility in CA for the 25th / 26th. Between these two we have a great choice and should be able to settle the location and dates this week, Carl. On 09/06/2011 01:40 PM, Karsten Wade wrote:
Folks:
Figured we should move in parallel on Linuxcon Prague as a potential location for our workshop. I am now in contact with the event manager, and have filled her in on the generalities and event specifics.
One item we need to consider immediately is budget. Planning this close to the event may mean we take on more costs than if e.g. any of us had the workshop included as part of our sponsorship for Linuxcon. I've given Linux Foundation some basic specs - one big room, four smaller breakout spaces, wireless connectivity, simple refreshments. The dates I chose were the three days prior to the conference - Sun, Mon, and Tue (23 to 25 October.)
I also asked the Linux Foundation to consider how they might be a sponsor of the workshop. To lend support to that, I offered to bring them in to the fold about the oVirt Project reboot. Under normal circumstances, the oVirt workshop would be just the kind of thing the Linux Foundation would support and sponsor. At this point, it would be great to get a break on pricing and maybe gain some logistical support for the workshop.
When I get some pricing and such, I'll share back to this list whatever details I can put in the public record.
