[asterisk-dev] European Asterisk Developer's Meet-Up: Last Call

[John Todd]

Last Notice: Asterisk European Developer's Meet-Up

Location: Rostock, DE
           Radisson SAS Hotel Rostock (http://www.amoocon.de/2009/hotel)
           Room Warnowblick 5 at the hotel

Dates:    May 2-3, 2009

Times:    May 2 - 10:00 AM until ~18:00
           May 3 - 10:00 AM until  ??:??

Topics:   This is up to you!
           We'd like to hear about specific areas of code which you
            would like to work on, or about which you have questions.
            The goal is to get some design and coding concepts together
            on specific topics.  Your pet project is perfect for this
            forum; let's hear about what you are working on!

Internet: Free WiFi supplied by hotel

Additions: Please make sure to attend AMOOCON if your schedule permits.
            There is a charge for the AMOOCON portion of the conference,
            but the developer's meet-up is free.  Many interesting  
developers
            and users of Asterisk and other VoIP software will be in
            attendance, and it is a worthwhile addition to your  
schedule.

I am certain that there are people who have just not yet told me that  
they will be attending, or perhaps who even at this time have not yet  
heard of the conference.  If you think that you know someone who  
should attend, please encourage them to contact me so we can add their  
name to the list.  If you're a developer interested in attending,  
please contact me ASAP.

> IRC, or by voice alone.  Therefore, I'd like to announce that there  
> will be an Asterisk Developer European Meet-Up held in Rostock,  
> Germany on May 2nd and 3rd for the purposes of meeting old friends,  
> introductions to new coders, and getting some good work done towards  
> furthering Asterisk open-source development.

> The meeting will be held immediately before AMOOCON on the Saturday/ 
> Sunday before the conference.  We've been given a room and Internet  
> connectivity for the purposes of having the meet-up, and I suspect  
> there are some good restaurants and bars in the area which might be  
> suitable for post-coding discussion as well.

> There is a small group who I've already been in touch with on this,  
> and in order to get a good quorum of developers we'd like to open up  
> the session to a wider audience of development participants.  This  
> is really for people who write core Asterisk code - the subjects  
> covered will not be applicable to "user" portions of Asterisk, so  
> please respond only if you're actively writing code within the  
> Asterisk project.  If you'd like more general topics, the AMOOCON  
> conference will cover a broader range of VoIP areas.  You are  
> encouraged to sign up for the AMOOCON (http://www.amoocon.de/) event  
> which is happening right after the meet-up and is a paid event, but  
> keep in mind the Asterisk Developer European Meet-Up is free to  
> participants.  There will be a good handful of attendees from Digium  
> - Kevin, Russell, and perhaps other as-yet-undecided engineering  
> staff, but it's your participation that is what is going to make the  
> meeting productive - we look forward to hearing from you!
>
> Please send your interest to me and I'll add you to the list of
