We are having trouble with the August date due to a collision with
our internal release schedule. We are checking alternatives and
will be getting back with a proposal soon.

Hi folks!
At the Proxy BoF during this year's Users Conference, we floated
the idea of having a hackathon around Proxy and it seemed well-
received.
After returning home and some internal discussions, we've decided
that yes, we really want to get together and hack and that's were
you come in: We need you to come, too :)
Given that most of the proxy team is in Europe, there's a Sun
office here in Hamburg we can use, and Jan lives close to Hamburg,
we decided it would be best to have it here.
There are plenty of hotels within 15 minutes by subway or even
within walking distance to the Sun office (you won't necessarily
need a car during your stay - nor would you want to find parking
anyway...).
So, our initial plan looks as follows:
- meet for 2 days
- hack on the code (fix bugs, implement features)
- give code/architecture walkthroughs for those interested
- explore new projects using proxy (do some prototyping, proof-of-
concept)
- hang out and get to know each other
- share experiences, use-cases and pain points
- make this unconference-style: apart from the walkthroughs we
don't have a fixed agenda nor tracks
Jan made a very good point about the timing: "Officially" we would
pick Thursday/Friday, because
a) it enables people from farther away to stay over the weekend
(meaning more time available and cheaper flights)
b) we can easily extend the meeting if necessary since no one needs
to rush home
As to the actual date, we obviously have some preferences (everyone
does :)), but we haven't reached a conclusion yet.
Personally I would like to see something like early August, but
that might collide with some people's schedules.
Naturally we want as many people attending as possible, but we
realize that these things need planning from everyone involved, so
you can book travel early to get good rates, get permission,
schedule other appointments etc.
What do you say? Who's interested, what date would suit you best
and how many people would you want to bring?
cheers,
-k
P.S.: We will be there with 3-5 people depending on availability
and such. Confirmed are Jan, Heidi and myself.
P.P.S.: Who's Heidi? She is our friendly shepherd who makes sure we
actually release things :)
