well... I'm AFK for one week, and plan to announce that BibLibre will
probably organize a hackfest one month before each spring release. And
when i'm back on my keyboard, someone already suggested this idea...

So, yes, we found very profitable for everybody this hackfest, and are
thinking about organizing such a meeting once a year.
In my idea, it must be an easy place to reach. For ppl coming, the
flight or train was not too expensive, no jet lag, short flight
duration, making the trip "easy". So I think we must keep the idea of a
"local hackfest". Maybe there could be one in US too. if it were during
the same week, we could work 24Hx3days (and chris or the next RM would
be overwhelmed by patches to push ;-) )

Anyway, see you next year in Marseille !
