[Widelands-public] Next WiHack location: Leipzig?

[<Qcu...@bu...>]

Hi everyone,

you all know about WiHack, do you? It's the Widelands Hacking weekend,
or something to the extent of this definition which fulfills the acronym ;-)

We (that is, janus and me) thought about having a WiHack at an
alternate location to maybe attract additional people who can't come to
Karlsruhe due to the long journey.

The alternate location we propose is Leipzig in Saxony (Germany),
specifically the Sublab ( http://www.sublab.org/ ). Unfortunately, this
page seems not to be available in English, so to explain it in few
short words, it is the home of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) in
Leipzig, and of a few other associations related to technics, generic
nerddom and freedom of speech, thought and information, so it's good to
say, a similar place like the Entropia e.V. in Karlsruhe, the home of
the past WiHacks.

The sublab people are open to the WiHack idea and I would like to add,
they seemed quite inviting. The sublab doesn't offer possibilities for
hygiene like showering, and no sleeping capabilities, but our general
inquiry at the sublab immediately triggered several offerings of
members of the sublab living in walking distance to have people wash
and sleep there. This is a very openminded offering, I must say.

So, we are now collecting opinions:
- What do you think of having a WiHack in Leipzig instead of Karlsruhe?
- Would you attend?
- Which date would you propose for this? My personal feeling is that
it should be long-term planning, so I think October or later should be good.
- Any questions?

I'm feeling we should have an open discussion here, and I hope it will
be a lively discussion.

Feel free to tell us your feelings.

Best wishes,
Jens aka QCS
