if you call THAT a handful, sloopz, i'd hate to see what you call a lot of people :P

I can't give specifics, of course, but in the end, a good portion of the team is going considering the hurdles that must be jumped :)

It just seems hard to donate money when no one knows what items are discussed, non one knows who's turning up etc.

Well, I'll be there. I'll say that much.

And what will we talk about? SMF. :P

Day 1 through 10 are devoted to World Domination issues.  The rest of the time will probably end up as a Pirate vs Ninja vs Samurai vs Baby with dirty diaper vs Roseanne Barr.

Currently we have 18 people on the "I'll be there" list and 5 on the "I hope so" list.  Thats 23 people out of 40.

Looking at the planned agenda we have meetings the first three days after arrivals.  We are also including some time for people to break out into smaller groups.  We have a large group activity planned for a couple of days and then everyone leaves.

I know the devs want to get together and get piss drunk and then do some serious coding ;)  One thing I hope to do is try to discuss our future plans and see if we can't come up with some type of roadmap.


A good part of this is the team getting to know each other on a more personal level so we can hopefully function even better.

TinyPortal did this one time before and that was good because people actually knew what was happening in the future instead of a big blank.

Ballmer Peak, thats funny...
I guess I'll be looking in to getting a Lg 1500 Cell Phone. (the phone with a Breathalyzer)
to ensure we are good to go and on track to hit the apex of the curve. :P j/k

i was going to say half, but either way.  Yes, roughly about half of the team is expected to attend.  There will be some lengthy meetings both for the whole group attending and between the individual teams.

Personally, i hope to bug the **** out of Jerm (one of the support team leaders) :D

Nah, in all seriousness, i'm excited to see what can happen when all of us come together :)

Just read this part again and think it needs a bit of explanation.

It will be great for me to meet the other team members, but perhaps not for them to meet me :P

SleePy

I wouldn't be surprised if Amacythe came to the meeting with a horse whip :P
