[Typo3-dev] RFC: Developer conferences, meetings and fun

[dan frost]

Dear all,

Recently, there have been talks about a developer conference and, after 
talking to Kasper, Robert, Daniel etc we have decided to gather more 
information on what such a conference might be like.

Who would like a developer conference - more like a conference than the 
snowboard tour? What would you like to do at it? Should there be talks, 
lectures, presentations, case-studies? Where should it be?

There are *two parts* to this posting:
1. This thread - please share all your ideas
2. A survey (see below) - to be emailed straight to survey at danfrost.co.uk

So, while you all (!) fill in the short survey so that we get an idea of 
who wants what, please also reply to this thread listing everything 
you'd like to see.

The plan is:
- to find out who wants what
- to get people involved in setting it up
- to set it up and do it!

Many Thanks,
dan
