-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, oSC15 is coming up, May 1-4 in The Hague, and as you may or may not know we are in a bit of trouble concerning registrations and talk submissions. Additionally some legislation changes eventually trickled down to effect us and we have to move our venue. Our previous location BINK36 is being sold as the current owner is being forced, via legislation, to re-focus their effort on housing rentals rather than side projects such as venue rentals. The sales process of BINK36 leaves us in limbo with respect to signing a contract and thus we have to move to a new venue. Thanks to the effort of Hans and Robin a new location has already been found and we are ready to leave BINK36 behind and look forward to meet at Westvliet (http://www.westvliet.nl/algemeen/sfeerimpressie/ .) While this is primarily a sports facility there is plenty of room for us to hang out, chat, hack, and have fun together. Thus, as of today we focus on a new venue and move forward. The new venue is located in a town called Voorburg just on the outskirts of The Hague. The location is easily reachable by train from down town The Hague, thus if you already booked a Hotel there is nothing to worry about. So much for the news about the venue change, an article will appear shortly on news.o.o. Now to my personal appeal to everyone. Yes, we certainly had some rough times over the last couple of years and some of us are probably still disgruntled. However, I think the time has come to let the past rest and look forward to new horizons. oSC15 is a great opportunity to do just that. We can all come together re-kindle the spirit that has made past events great with large numbers of us Geekos participating in oSC. oSC is our event, it can only be successfull if as many of us as possible participate. Whether we discuss the booth boxes, marketing efforts, design, or technical contributions, all areas benefit from face to face time. oSC is our opportunity to meet face to face and discuss and improve the state of our project. As with every conference TSP money is available to help get you to the conference. With the budget in very good shape there will be extra money available for the TSP to help more people get to oSC. The TSP period will open in the near future, watch out for announcements. Please consider to join your fellow Geekos at oSC15 in The Hague, May 1 - 4, 2015. The goal is to have at least 150 people at the conference, overshooting the goal would certainly be a welcome sign of live. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to see you in The Hague.
