OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (7-13 June 2009)
- Event Owner
- Jeroen Ticheler
- When
- 7-13 June 2009
- Where
- Bolsena - Italy
After the successful event last year, we'll repeat the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an Italian monastery (here). The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery. For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).
The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As last year, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).
The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.
Please contact me if you have questions about this event (Jeroen Ticheler)
Registered Attendees
Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 500 Euro in advance to me to guarantee your place. This is to make administration simpler for myself and you. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.
