Hi all,
I was just informed that it is not going to be possible to hold the Developer Summit alongside LinuxCon in Berlin, unless we make some hard choices. I had originally had booked the space and all looked fine when it was originally arranged several months ago. Seems that the LinuxCon organisers tripped over a German holiday and had not accounted for it. I would like to get your input before the next board meeting in 10 days, such that I have community input for the meeting and I can make a swift decision at the meeting.
We have the following options
* Hold it on Monday Oct 3 - to Tue Oct 4 : the problem is that Oct 3 is a public holiday in Germany, which would affect German participants
* Do a 1 day event only on Oct 4 : I don't think this is practicable
* Hold the event alongside LinuxCon in Toronto in August, but then we'd have a Dev Summit in the US for 3 years in a row. On the plus side, it will be Linux' 25th birthday
Other options, such as holding the event on its own will be too expensive. Please let me know your opinions.
Best Regards
Lars

So we are moving LinuxCon/ContainerCon to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of that week and ELC-E will be Thursday & Friday as scheduled. This means that we have absolutely no additional space on Thursday. In addition, the space we do have in terms of larger rooms on Tuesday and Wednesday is extremely limited. We went through all the space yesterday, and we don't have any extra rooms that fit over 50ppl available on Tuesday & Wednesday. Thus, holding Xen Summit overlapping in Berlin at the same venue isn't going to work. The only real option for larger rooms in Berlin would be on Monday (but not on Tuesday, and again this is a holiday).
