After doing some research, I have gotten some lodging recommendations for the hackfest and you can find details on the GNOME 3 Usability Wiki:
http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/London2010 The Wiki still needs some love, though. It would be nice if people could add more useful information. For example, it would be nice if we could find a volunteer to develop a logo or banner image for the event and Wiki page. Considering the number of graphic design artists on this list, I'd think it should be easy to find someone to help. Looking at the Wiki, there are now 12 people who have signed up to attend, so it is looking like it will be a good sized event. I also know there are a few other people who likely will attend who haven't yet added their name, so there may be as many as 20 people. I have pinged the travel committee and nobody has yet sent in a travel subsidy form for this event. If you are needing assistance with travel costs, please submit a form sooner than later so that the GNOME Travel Committee can work out the costs. I am a little disappointed that there has not been more discussion on this list to plan for the event. I think the Wiki does a good job of highlighting the various things that the GNOME Usability team can focus on during the hackfest, but many of them would benefit from some discussion and preparation. With GNOME 3.0 coming and a weeks worth of time to spend together, I would think there should be more to discuss. I would appreciate it if everybody who is planning on attending the GNOME 3 Usability Hackfest could speak up and share their ideas of what we should focus on while together, and what things each person plans to bring to the event or work on. Perhaps this could evolve into an agenda. Rather than spending the first day of the event brainstorming and putting sticky notes on a whiteboard, perhaps we could work this out beforehand and use our face-to-face time more wisely.
