September 27-30 - Sailathon 24 in Prague

That should be a continuous thing and the main reason I want to meet people from all over the Sailfish community. Are you thinking about having some special time for it?

(L.E. We can also discuss how server-side stuff can help the SFOS community, wiki is one such example but anything can come up;)

Is anyone from Jolla actually attending?

I think a poll would be good. It’d also be nice to be able to split into groups depending on how many people come? I’m thinking if we’re 18 people, that might be too many for just one goal? Too many cooks, so to speak?

Yeah and maybe also a “Stand-Up meeting” every day so people know what (has been) going on, what’s the plan, problems, lunch plan, beer ledger, schedule and such.

As per this morning’s meeting: at least @direc85 and @rainemak

I’ve taken the liberty to add them to the list in the wiki up top. So far 13. Perhaps @flypig will grace us with his presence, too!

Some have asked on channels where to stay. I think it’s not ‘too’ pricey, and I’m staying at https://www.booking.com/hotel/cz/chevron.de.html which I got for 80 Euro a night. I chose it because it’s a walk through the park to the hackathon and it’s close to @vlagged ( heh :slight_smile:

Is registration required? I am wondering about schedule. I am able to arrive about 10:30 depending on traffic. I am also wondering about type of event. On last hackathon I was sleeping just in my sleeping bag. I will be happy if you can provide more details about schedule and topics.

The first post is a wiki, you can write your name there.
I am not planning to sleep in a sleeping bag, don’t know if that is even an option, I booked something on booking.

(Which reminds me: one hackerspace in Bucharest did ask for the exact hours we need the space for this exact reason, last year: there are hackathons where you stay for 48+ hours in the same space)

Sorry, I had a long journey. I’ll update the wiki tomorrow.

Feel free to improve the Poll. We could move to a matrix room to continue the discussions?

@xmlich02 Indeed I didn’t planned to sleep at the university. I’m not sure if it’s even possible.

Note: there is now a poll in the original post. This will not show of you view this in SFOS Forum Viewer.
To participate, open the topic in a Browser, or the built-in WebView in Forum Viewer.

Good idea!
I’ve created #sailathon2024:sailmates.net for that purpose.

Hi guys. Shall we have dinner together on Friday and/or Saturday? I would book some place, maybe at Smíchov or Palacký square or something more fancy at Lesser Town

Re dinner: sure, I’ll be up for a good dinner! In order to spend as much time as possible behind neovim and sfdk though, I suggest we also have take out once or twice :wink:

I’m up for dinner either Friday or Saturday. It’d be great if you booked something that you think would be nice/delicious/atmospheric … ah, you know :wink:

I just assume that takeout is a matter of course!

And a reminder, we have some support from the community (270 euro) to subsidize for those on lesser budgets.

I just looked at the maps, and all those locations are walking distance for me, so I’m obviously happy already :slight_smile:

That’s an excellent idea! I’m in for Friday and Saturday.
