AlpenStep

[Simon Stapleton]

Well, I've had a fair amount of feedback on the possibility of doing 
this, so here's what I propose:

I'd like this to be a full-on development meet.  There's a fair amount 
of stuff missing from GNUstep at the moment, I'd like to see something 
concrete come out of the back.  Some suggestions (based on where I'm at 
with GNUstep):

- EOModeler clone.
- WOBuilder clone.
- ???

I have no problem with people wanting to do OSX development, either ;-)

I don't want to step on / poach peple from the Oxford meet.  I suggest 
a date that doesn't clash.  Therefore, the weekend of 30/31 October.  
This will also give me time to finish up the house enough to have room 
to do this ;-)  In order to get something useful done, I suggest a long 
weekend - Thursday night through to Monday night suits me.

I should be able to put people up (depending on number) and can provide 
food, but for that it would be necessary to charge a small amount to 
cover costs.  If there are too many people, I can probably find 
cheapish accomodation locally.

I will contact France Telecom, see if they're up for setting us up a 
fast connection to the 'net for the duration.  Otherwise we'll be stuck 
with dialup, but I'll set up a local mirror of gnustep CVS so it 
shouldn't be too painful.  There will be local networking - 10baseT, 
100baseT and wireless.

We should be able to arrange transport from Geneva or Annecy for those 
who can't get here by themselves.  Location is about 1 hour by car from 
Geneva and 45 minutes from Annecy

So.  Who's interested, do I have anything completely off-base here, any 
other ideas for stuff to do?

Simon
