[Mark Wielaard] > Yes. Sorry if that was not clear. Since we wanted to have three > sessions at Fosdem and had already decided those would be about GNU > Classpath & Friends, OpenJDK and GNU/Linux distro Packaging it made > sense to officially turn this into a shared meeting. As > http://wiki.debian.org/Java/DevJam/2007/Fosdem says: Yes, my involvent in the FOSDEM java gathering and the reason I am calling for a devjam at the same time and location is to increase the chance of having the people working on free java present and talking to each other. Please see it as a friendly reenforcement of the Classpath meeting, and not as a hostile takeover. At the moment 21 people have signed up on thewiki page and thus expressed their interest in joining. 7 of these seem to be interested in sponsoring, at least for the travel. I have no idea what it would cost to get them there, but the numbers on the page indicate values around 250 EURO, so I guestimate 7 * 300 EURO = 2100 EURO. That is not to bad, and should be possible to collect. I hope we get at least that amount of sponsoring. No idea how much accomidation will cost, but I'm sure it will be some extra expences. :) Andreas, how are you doing with collecting sponsoring? How much money do Debian have left in the "Java pile" left over from last devjam? I'm not sure I can make it myself, but hope the rest of you will have a productive meeting even if I have to stay home. :) Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen
