World: r3wp

That's what I suggest, because it will be non controllable process 
;-))

dunno if we have internet at the hotel tough.

Gabriele, thanks.

*hack will be a completely uncontrolable experiment ;-)

IIRC UMTS is very good in Italy too,right? Maybe we can use this.

Maybe we should do it on the first day.

And on a voluntary basis.

yes, and hopefully treviglio is covered. but, dunno about prices 
for umts connection. i guess it is pretty expensive.

Maybe the project should be finish RebGUI, it is opensource and I 
think two of their main contributors will be there.

UMTS: Gab, can you check out if it's possible to get test-UMTS-cards. 
Sometimes this is possible for some days ;-))

RebGUI: That's a very good idea. IMO RebGUI is the most active and 
broad-based community project of the last 12 months.

And it adds a lot of value to speed-up development time for applications.

A subproject will be skins for RebGUI. That way we can split the 
team.

The hackers.

It will be interesting

multi-column table, and a data-form dialect.

:-))

Ok, need to go... see you guys...

Not sure I understand correctly what is a "hack session" !
Can one connect me ?

Gabriele - thank you so much for planning a sightseeing trip in Rome 
and negotiating a reduced hotel rate.  That is really above and beyond 
the call of duty.  My one piece of feedback is regarding the schedule. 
 I helped plan Handango's annual conferences and the one thing I 
learned early on is that bathroom breaks are very important.  I noticed 
the schedule has no breaks.  You might want to add in a few 15 minute 
breaks, otherwise you'll have people walking in and out of the sessions.

done (thanks to Cindy too, which gave the same suggestion and reworked 
the schedule). I have updated the schedule.

(breaks were somewhat "implied" but i guess that's a very bad idea. 
better to have them explicitly in the schedule.)

DideC: "hacking" together at a project, i.e. writing something together.

Gabriele, is it too late to add a presentation slot for me? (I thought 
I already had one (-  ) Topic would be:

	Building & selling REBOL-based solutions - theory and practice.

or if folks preferred:

	Building REBOL-based community projects - RebGUI case study.

Ashley I give you +1 for the first one.

And +1 for the second.

+1 for the first

I would like to see following topic covered - Rebol deployment - 
how to link rebol into other environments - library wrappers, callbacks, 
what would language extensions bring us etc. Such session would have 
to be done by Rebol experienced programmer, who eventually will be 
able to get some supporting info from RT about what is planned. So 
- DevCon05 is near, plans changed - 1.3, SDK priority etc, but NONE 
of last DevCon stuff appeared. I would like to hear how long will 
we wait for already announced stuff like ReBIN, RIF, async, LNS, 
etc.

but maybe this one will be covered by Carl during his keynote speach, 
I would like to hear some more realistic schedules though :-)

ashley: done.

petr: cyphre is looking for a topic... so maybe you can suggest that 
to him :)

yes, after all he has some experience by helping RT to integrate 
AGG, so .... :-)

With all of the talk about new widgets etc, maybe Cyphre would be 
interested in a tutorial or introduction into building new View or 
RebGUI widgets?

Ashley, I give you +1 for both topics  ;-)

Brock - good one! Understanding View/VID and its lower level internals 
would be good to have presented ...

and documented.

Gabriele could you post a link for the italian fligth search engine?

hmm, one is http://viaggi.virgilio.it/prenotazioni/voli/index.html

this one is in english and should have italian flights too http://www.travelocity.com/

I am looking for cheap flights within Europe. I want to visit some 
frieds after the DevCon.

I used www.air-gorilla.com - they beat all the other prices I got 
for flying into Rome then home from Milan

(And we hope that they actually provide planes with it too. ;)

Hahaha

Big Germany based engines are:
	- Hotel: www.hrs.de (with english interface)
	- Flights: www.biller-reisen.de (not sure if EN interface)

Someone here wanted to prepare presentation about business possibilities 
and using certain language (REBOL). Here's one article regarding 
"The economics of programming languages" - http://www.dedasys.com/articles/programming_language_economics.html

Registrations are now open!

Please remember that you must register before July 31st if you want 
to get hotel reservations with your registration.

I am looking for a roommate to split costs.

If you select sharing a room and check "suggest ..." I will suggest 
possible roommates as soon as i have enough submissions.
