2nd Marble Developer Weekend Sprint, October 19-21 2012

We'd like to invite all people who are interested in Marble Development: may it be through coding, graphics design, promotion, packaging, documentation, website or other areas.

The Marble Developer Weekend Sprint will be held at the OpenSUSE Conference 2012 in Prague.

You have an interesting story to tell about Marble? You'd like to make Marble a great educational tool? You've built some software based on Marble? You're a Marble newbie and you'd like to get involved with KDE-EDU or Marble development? You dream of Navigation and Routing with Marble? -- We'd like to see you at the sprint!

The Marble Weekend Sprint is sponsored by the KDE e.V.. Thanks a lot for supporting Marble!

Dates

The Marble Sprint will be held from October 19-21, with the following basic schedule:

  • 19.10. arrival, starting from 16:00 local time (Friday). I suggest we meet at the Cafe Traverza. That will be the same place where the openSUSE conference welcome party takes place. See:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_party_announcement

Jens-Michael and me will arrive at about 21:00 at this place. We could then meet there. Once everybody has arrived we could decide whether we stay in this place or whether we move to a different place in order to have dinner.

  • 20.10. sprint (Saturday), Lightning talks after noon.
  • 21.10. sprint (Sunday) and departure starting from 18:00 local time.
  • 22.10.-23.10. Marble Hacking Marathon

Location & Accomodation

The 2nd Marble Developer Weekend will be held at the OpenSUSE Conference 2012 in Prague. We will get a special dedicated room for our Marble sprint.


For Accomodation the same suggestions apply as for the OpenSUSE conference: See the webpage Accomodation on the openSuSE Conference website for more details.

Hotel Krystal is one of the primary addresses there and costs about 40 EUR for two persons per night.

How to get there

Attendees List

The column "Sponsoring needed?" is to know if you need sponsoring from the KDE e.V. or if you pay the travel/stay by yourself.
