Why Go-OO Conference 2008 Prague, (Czech Republic) ?
While OOoCon is a great conference, in 2008 it will be held in Asia, which is likely to reduce the number of Europeans able to attend. Of course, developers still need to meet, talk, drink beer & so on - so, we're tacking a mini-meetup / hack-fest to the end of our team meeting planned for next month.
Schedule
April 10th - arrive in the evening, meet up for dinner. April 11th - ad-hoc presentations, hacking evening drinks / meal. April 12th, am: more of the same pm: fun ropes course / team building; meal April 13th - leave, or stay to enjoy historic Prague.
Logistics
Everything you need to know to attend, print out, cover in marmalade & accidentally leave behind the sofa.
Location
Travel
There are plenty of cheap flights available to Prague, from England, Italy, Switzerland & Germany (EasyJet), Ireland (Ryanair), and perhaps others (?).
Shelter
We recommend the Hotel Carol which is 1 block from the SUSE office: ~2 minutes walk even for a geriatric hacker. A double room for the duration is around Euro:250.

Politics
To make the event even more accessible, there will be a moratorium on political discussion of the form: "Sun screwed everyone over" or "Ban the JCA today". In addition we are encouraging primarily hackers to attend, ie. this is a pure developers meeting, with a horribly technical agenda: we promise you won't enjoy it if you're not writing code.
