Developer Meetings/2009-2

Date and Time

November 20th - 22nd.

The meeting will start at Friday evening and end on Sunday afternoon.

Location

The meeting will take place in south-western Germany, near Basel.

The openZIM team tries to cover all costs for accommodation and catering during the meeting. To achieve this we have to know very early how many people will arrive, so we can choose the best location possible.

We plan to book an appartment with Internet access and kitchen, so we can work and sleep at the same place and cater ourselves.
