I would agree with Paul that more than 3 days hackfest is a good thing, especially when international travel is involved. Several of us stayed extra days in Wellington, and Catalyst was kind enough to put up with us in their offices for a little longer :)<br>
<br>I'd humbly request that the planners of KohaCon '11 consider the addition of some extra time for the hackfest; not necessarily a week, but a few days, as managable.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br><br>-Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>I am not sure people can commit a full week for HackFest, but at VPM,<br>
Thane, we should have no problem extending the hackfest. Plenty of<br>
space during Diwali holidays.<br>
