What: Neutron Tempest code sprint Where: Montreal, QC, Canada When: January 15, 16, 17 2014 Location: I am about to sign the contract for Salle du Parc at 3625 Parc avenue, a room in a residence of McGill University. Time: 9am - 5am I am expecting to see the following people in Montreal in January: Mark McClain Salvatore Orlando Sean Dague Matt Trenish Jay Pipes Sukhdev Kapur Miguel Lavelle Oleg Bondarev Rossella Sblendido Emilien Macchi Sylvain Afchain Nicolas Planel Kyle Mestery Dane Leblanc Sumit Naiksatam Henry Gessau Don Kehn Carl Baldwin Justin Hammond Anita Kuno If you are on the above list and can't attend, please email me so I have an up-to-date list. If you are planning on attending and I don't have your name listed, please email me without delay so that I can add you and you get done what you need to get done to attend. I have the contract for the room and will be signing it and sending it in with the room deposit tomorrow. Monty has about 6 more hours to get back to me on this, then I just have to go ahead and do it. Caterer is booked and I will be doing menu selection over the holidays. I can post the intended, _the intended_ menu once I have decided. Soup, salad, sandwich - not glamourous but hopefully filling. If the menu on the day isn't the same as what I post, please forgive me. Unforeseen circumstances may crop up and I will do my best to get you fed. One person has identified they have a specific food request, if there are any more out there, please email me now. This covers breakfast, lunch and tea/coffee all day. Henry Gessau will be social convener for dinners. If you have some restaurant suggestions, please contact Henry. Organization of dinners will take place once we congregate in our meeting room. T-shirts: we decided that the code quality of Neutron was a higher priority than t-shirts. One person required a letter of invitation for visa purposes and received it. I hope the visa has been granted. Individuals arrangements for hotels seem to be going well from what I have been hearing. A few people will be staying at Le Nouvel Hotel, thanks for finding that one, Rosella. Weather: well you got me on this one. This winter is colder than we have had in some time and more snow too. So it will be beautiful but bring or buy warm clothes. A few suggestions: * layer your clothes (t-shirt, turtleneck, sweatshirt) * boots with removable liners (this is my boot of choice: http://amzn.to/19ddJve) remove the liners at the end of each day to dry them * warm coat * toque (wool unless you are allergic) I'm seeing them for $35, don't pay that much, you should be able to get something warm for $15 or less * warm socks (cotton socks and wool over top)- keep your feet dry * mitts (mitts keep my fingers warmer than gloves) * scarf If the weather is making you panic, talk to me and I will see about bringing some of my extra accessories with me. The style might not be you but you will be warm. Remember, don't lick the flagpole. It doesn't matter what your friends tell you. That's all I can think of, if I missed something, email me. Oh, and best to consider me offline from Jan.2 until the code sprint. Make sure you have all the information you need prior to that time. See you in Montreal, Anita.
