1st. "AlpenStep" / GNUstep EDM: What it is about

During FOSDEM 2007 it was felt that we need a separate GNUstep developer's meeting so that we all have the time to go through ideas, discuss, present, decide, plan future aspects without being in three places at the same time.

A thread started on the discussion list http://groups.google.de/group/gnu.gnustep.discuss/browse_frm/thread/852d2f0686d1e64e/cf6d877685630896 shows a lot of interest in such a meeting.

So, let's make nails with heads and have GSFun, GSHack and maybe GSHike!

GSLocation

Les Merecotts, Switzerland

Switzerland CH-1923 Les Marécottes

Cost

We hope that we can keep accomodation cost low.

To reduce travel cost, we can try to do car sharing.

GSSponsors

A lot of sponsorship for accommodation support for students and other participants who have demand would be very welcome!

GSTimeInterval

The workshop is scheduled for

Saturday 1. September 15:00 - Sunday 2. September 15:00

GSParticipants

Everybody who thinks he/she can contribute to the development of GNUstep is welcome!
