I mean various things actually. As I see it:
- we need first to decide whether it will be an in-person sprint with
possibility of remote participation (which, in my experience,
generally works better and more productive) or rather a over-the-net
sprint only
- then we need to find a place (including deciding on which side of the
ocean it should happen, if we'll go for an in-person meeting)
- then we need to find a time
- then we need to figure out a budget of how much it'll cost to sponsor
people who cannot pay the trip themselves
In short: we need someone doing the organization :-), and I know I can
commit to it myself. I know a while ago you took care of organizing some
Extremadura meetings, so if you're volunteering for doing this I believe
you'd be a perfect person for doing that. I can help in various ways:
of course budget approval is on me as DPL, but I can also offer a venue
in Paris, in case you need one, and I could help with advertising this
even more than what I've already done.
So, are you or anyone else up to the organization task? I'd *love* that!
Let me know and remember to Cc:-me upon replies.
Cheers.
