Heya! Back at foss.in 2008 in Bangalore I spoke to a couple folks from Intel (who I assume are on this mailing list, are you?) about the possibility to arrange a PulseAudio developers meeting some time later this year. Nokia folks seems to be very interested in this as well. Before we can do this I'd like to have a better overview how many people would actually show up for this. And that's why I am writing this email. So, here's what I have in mind: last year I was lucky to be able to attend a BlueZ developers meeting in Helsinki. I'd roughly model our PA meeting after that. Basically, it's just a couple hackers in a room, with a very, very lose schedule. We'd have a list of topics to discuss, everbody can ask (and respond to) questions, everyone has his laptop and can hack away, in a very relaxed atmosphere. Timeframe would be two or three days. To make the organization a bit easer and travelling a bit cheaper it might be a good idea to organize this attached to the Bluez meeting. i.e. meet at the same place but in a different room or a few days apart. I understood the Intel Bangalore folks that they'd even be willing to provide a location for hosting this meeting. Marcel mentioned that he plans a BlueZ meeting around that time in London. Another option would be to hold it next to the Plumbers conf in Portland. Or -- which would be easiest for me -- here at Red Hat Berlin. The BlueZ meetings are invitation only. Given that we didn't have any PA meeting before I'd however keep things open for now: whoever feels he could contribute is welcome to attend. Note however that this is supposed to be a developer's meeting, not a user's meeting. Anyway, for now I'd like to ask you guys for opinions. Also, I'd be very thankful if those who are interested to attend would drop me a line (off-list, and that includes the folks who I already talked to before, since i never compiled a list of names). Before we discuss locations we should probably know how many people will show up, or anyone will show up at all.
