Thanks for everyone's feedback.
Most of the contributors are from Germany, but as it is a large country flying out to London is the cheapest option - in both travel time and money. Flights are from 60 EUR return. There are also buses which are even cheaper.
We have done this for a couple of years now and it is working well.
For students or people in similar situations I would be happy to sponsor flights.
If someone else wants to host the summit in an other city that is easy to get to (e.g. Berlin), please feel free to step forward next year. It would make me incredibly happy if someone else is taking over planning the summit.
Best, -Michael

Hi,
so I haven't received a single reply to this message which I find really upsetting. It is difficult to host this event and it is becoming more and more difficult over the years. I can only interpret the silence as a lack of interest and hopefully I am proven wrong.
So before I sent out this email the entire Core team has already signed up for this summit and about a hand full more people will be joining. This isn't as many people as we had in the past years, but that doesn't necessarily say that this won't be an interesting summit.
So in case someone was still considering coming, I would like to keep registration open for two more weeks until July 15th.
After then we need to book accommodation and play any remaining things.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best, -Michael

Hello,
as usual, I would like to invite for this year's IPFire Developer Summit. This is our annual event where we meet up, discuss, plan and socialise.
In contrast to the other years, we won't have talks and do more hands-on things instead. Think of it more of a hackaton than anything else. Feel free to bring your own ideas.
As everyone's schedule is very tight, we have agreed on the following dates already:
Sept 1st-5th 2016
It will be held in London as usual. I have not reached out to arrange a location like the Mozilla office we had last year as I would like to await registrations first.
So here is the registration process:
Mailing list: http://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/ids2016
- Please drop me an email if you are going to attend so that we
can estimate the number of people and start searching for a location.
- Also drop me an email if you are part of the active development
team and not planning to attend. That will help me to know when to close the registration process.
- The mailing list is also the place to ask any questions, etc.
- I do not have a fixed date yet when I will close the
registration process, but I would like to do this sooner than later. So please subscribe and mail soon.
There is also the usual wiki page: http://wiki.ipfire.org/ids/2016/start
Best, -Michael
