Thanks a lot for "pre-registering".

We are now at 6 + 2 participants so far (that is: two people from
overseas who would be interested, but might not make it) and I expect
a few more.

So far it looks like March would be the most suitable part of the year
for most which is suggesting that we should probably hurry up with
setting up the final date and booking the place.

Clear winners are 4 nights & starting on Friday (that probably means
Friday - Tuesday?).

Video conference sounds like a nice idea, even though I'm not quite
sure how to make it work in an efficient way and what to best discuss
there. If we do organize a video conference, it would probably make
sense to make one at the very beginning and one at the very end. Not
sure about the best topic. (What I miss are regular IRC meetings or
so.)
