World: r3wp

yes and yes :-)

Well, the hotel data should come very soon... And, as said, no need 
any more to hold your breath :-)

Just an idea purloined from the forthcoming International LISP Conference:
Why not a programming contest to co-incide with DevCon?

http://www.international-lisp-conference.org/2007/~111b2bf3b4f480e3bcc9f058~/contest

Maybe, but not games like that. I prefer when it's something that 
needs to be done, but that everybody keeps putting off.

I'd rather have a on-site dev contest.

How about a gauge contest.

See if we can do those flash gauges and put them up on a rebol plugin 
page.

you have one hour to build the most impressive:
-parser (using parse)
-view app
-core app

all using notepad, and starting from scratch.

no web access either.

and I guess only a selection of files which anyone entering can use. 
 :-)

That can only be enforced by people actually at the devcon.

yep.

right, so I'm out.

people need to have so reasons for attending no?

like enough money for a plane ticket...

hehe... got to get out of australia  ;-)  your at the end of the 
world missing out on all that's happening ;-)

yeah it's a bit like that.

Instead of doing a "competition" why not just have a panel look at 
all that has been done and released in the public.  anyone wishing 
to submit stuff could also do so... if its not yet available or generally 
unknown....

this way people who have worked already, can get the attention they 
deserve.

not just people who have spare time cause their lives are bit less 
"filled"...

I'm vouching for many of us who have famillies, jobs and other things 
which don't allow us to put much time on hobbies...

I would do it in following way - competition would be public. And 
winners would be announced/choosed at DevCon, at the banquet :-)

as I was saying on humour... I have many things to show off this 
time at the devcon... and I think, will release many of my tools 
there.

shouldn't this still be on humour ?

humm I did show off many things at last devcon...

bad joke!  Max has never released anything on time!!

well not exactly... things are done I just have no time to release 
them...

;-)

liquid has been on line for months... glayout has been online for 
years.

but I need a killer app to show off all of this technology, so that 
is what I am working on now.

I hope the technological backup is better this time.

microphones that work.

what do you mean?

ahh.

etc.

yes mee too.

I hope this is being heard somewhere ;-)

Rather than concentrate on real time streaming, the focus should 
be to capture the sessions first in good quality.

( another pun ! )

yes... no one cares for having a 2 hour delay

hum... you humour is too subtle... I didn't get this one.

hotel rates in the 5th district of paris aren't too bad.

focus = sharp picture, focus = concentrate

graham: like i did on last devcon? :P

Gabriele - how big was your organisation team? I thought French Rebol 
community is biggest one, yet I consider their organisation of DevCon 
weaker than last year :-)

I'm confident the 2007 DevCon is being much-much better organised 
than the 2006 DevCon

it does not seem so, at least from public side of view ....

Where do we go party after dinner?

I expect there is going to be some banquet?
