Hello world, I don't know for others, but travelling the world to go at the conference is a big investment. Having 3 days for the "user" part of the conference is enough. In 2006, in France, for the 1st KohaCon, that I organized, we had a full week for the developers. In 2009 we had only 3 days, same in 2010. I definetly think it was too short to have only 3 days for the developer part of the conference. We have to deal with teaching new developers how to get involved, experienced devs want to hack, some want to share ideas for the future. So I suggest to have more than just 3 days for the hack-fest. A full week may seems long, but I think it's the good timing ! It does not mean a decision must be taken immediatly, but I think the poll should reflect how possible it is to have more time. PS : and the idea to have a day off between conf & hack fest is definetly a good one !!! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
