Bah, I paid for myself last year, and that was BEFORE the crunch!

Shows your true dedication to the 'ho community!!

I wonder if Doug will buy the beers again?

Presumably top on the demo list is Pat 0.4? Looking forward to that!

0.4? I'm hoping to cram a whole lot of new stuff in by the end of Sept, but yeah we'll have a bells and whistles demo for people.

I see easyjet have flights for 20-30 quid each way at the moment.

I have the luxury of living 5 miles from Leeds Airport and although it wont be as cheap.... roll out of bed, bus to plane, fly, hotel. (well thats the plan

)

Hi,

On the 22nd of September starts SIMO in Madrid. It is one of the most important fairs in Spain.
Just FYI and in case you consider moving to Madrid to gather more people.
I don't really mind and will try to be there wherever you go :-)

Thanks for the information Joe, but the room is already booked and sorted, to be honest we could pick pretty much any date and any country and we'd coincide with some tech fair or another

I only just noticed this thread, because Doug forwarded it to me. (Someone said that Pentaho guys don't read these forums. I guess I just proved their point!)

I'd like to come to this. I will have to negotiate hard with my wife, because I'll be leaving her single-handed with a 6 month old for ~4 days. But it was a lot of fun last time.

I'll repeat Matt's point that it needs to be longer than 1 day to be worth the trip. (I'm flying from California, so it's probably 18 hrs each way.)

I wonder if the PAT/olap4j folks would like to meet a day or two early and do some WORK (i.e. heads down, writing code in a hotel room) before the bull**** starts. I'd be up for that. Tom, Luc, Stollenberger, Bill Seyler, let me know...

Nice thing about Barcelona is that you can work til 12am and then go out on the town. The nightlife only stops when it gets light (or when you want it to).

I certainly would Julian, i was planning on flying out on thursday anyway.

I was trying to talk Luc into flying out but I think he's a bit tight with his money
