<li>discuss how to conquer the world (at least libraries...)</li>
<li>eat and drink (OK, drink, it's after day-work. And it's not
mandatory)</li>
</ul>
<p>The FAQ:</p>
<b>Q= what are the conditions to come ?</b><br>
A= none, except wanting to contribute to Koha<br>
<br>
<b>Q= What is the cost ?</b><br>
A= it's free (but BibLibre does not pay for traveling fees, hotel,
or food)<br>
<br>
<b>Q= where does it take place ?</b><br>
A= Marseille, 108 rue Breteuil, in BibLibre office. We provide
coffee, desk, chairs, internet, video-projectors and cookies (many
people come with their local candies)<br>
<br>
<b>Q= can I come only for a few days ?</b><br>
A= yes, but at least 2 days, in just one day, no time do contribute
anything.<br>
<br>
<b>Q= I need an official letter</b><br>
A= Just drop me an email, I'll send one<br>
<br>
<b>Q= I have no laptop</b><br>
A= mmmm.... tricky... we don't have any spare laptop, and it's hard
to contribute without laptop...<br>
<br>

<b> Q= I've heard about a cheese lunch, can you explain ?</b><br>
A= lunches are organized by BibLibre, in our office (there's no
restaurant large enough in the area), and each lunch has it's own
theme. The legendary "cheese lunch" includes 30+ different french
cheese, in a huge buffet (with some salads...). So you'll discover a
part of French gastronomy. This year, it will be tuesday 13th (I've
been asked a few times: "when is the cheese lunch, I can't be here
the whole week, so I want to be here for the cheese")<br>
<br>
<b>Q= I'm veggie, can you take care of me ?</b><br>
A= yes, for sure. Just tell me when you register<br>
<br>
<b>Q= I'm vegan, can you take care of me ?</b><br>
A= sorry, but no, too complex. You'll be on your own. But you can
eat with us, welcome.<br>
