Hi,

LGM 2008 is getting closer, and we have to start thinking about travel and accomodation arrangements. Joao had started to do this, but he has not been seen for the past two weeks. I have mailed him and asked if he'll be able to spends some time on this, but we might have to make sure that everyting turns out right even if he doesn't manage to get back to me sson.

So... I'd like everyone of the GIMP team who wants to attend LGM this year to add a note to http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/TellUsYoureComing in the "Who is coming" section. See mine for an example.

For travel expenses, Joao had started to collect estimates. Please (re-)send them (or even final costs) to me, including any special information you may have discussed with Joao.

As for accomodation, there are several options available - hotel rooms of a varying price range as well as appartments for about 3-5 people, see http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2008/index.php?lang=en&action=location

Appartments would be cool - a larger number of hackers spread only over a few locations instead of one or two per hotel room. Some other groups seem to be doing this. But we will have to know when people arrive and leave, and who does like to share a room, or has already make own arrangements. Add a remark like "hotel" if you have already booked or intend to book your own rooms, and "appartment" if we should try to get an appartment.

Regards, Michael
