Yes or to San Fransisco. I will probably stay 3 or 4 days even if I don't 
attend any other conference/event. Any free accomodation would be greatly 
appreciated.

(Flight costs from Paris France are about 550 EUR (825 US$) for Portland 
Oregon around the 20th of September and 630-670 EUR (950-1000 US$) for San 
Fransisco around the 27th of October. Flights takes between 13 and 23 hours 
each as they are not direct.)

Yikes.  Anyway, if we have it in Moutain View after the GSoC mentor
summit I can probably offer up a couch and some floor space to a
couple of folks.  Hopefully by then I will have the huge stacks
of boxes put somewhere and there will actually be some space for
people in my flat.  As it stands there is very little space for
myself and my wife.

	3: What month/year would be best?

Oct 08 is ok. After that I would prefer between May 09 and Oct 09.
Anyway not Nov 08 or Dec 08.

That's what I'm starting to think.  We either hold it after the GSoC
mentor summit in Mountain View, or we defer until some time in 2009,
where we actually have time to put something together.

	4: What would you hope to see/accomplish while there?

I'd like small sessions (half a day/night long) that go like this:

- 1 hour long presentation and discussion: someone talks about a topic and 
some problems about it, then we discuss what could be done about this topic
- a few hours long hacking: we try to implement solutions for problems 
related to the previous discussion.

This is an interesting idea.  I like it.
