You would have thought they'd at least make some attempt to co-ordinate with the steering committee. Assuming they're not totally clueless, that is. Anyway, I imagine that Ottawa from April 15th to the 18th is not such a bad choice. Andrew. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

As far as I can see it isn't the same conference at all. Andrew. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Not specifically no. I am also involved in the Ottawa Linux Symposium, and the Kernel Summit. I consider GCC another core technology and in many private discussions over the years the desire for a GCC event has been expressed. Basically the mail I sent out was to get some more background information so that I can become more familiar with the people involved and what they believe would have the most value. -- Steamballoon Incorporated, Linux Professional Services, Developer Support for the GNU Toolchain, Open Source Migration Consulting ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

And this is one of the reasons why I think we should seriously look at working with Andrew. I think there's enough going on in GCC that getting folks together would be beneficial for the project. jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

What's the weather there around that time ? I've only been close to Ottawa in the second week of July '96, and that was a reasonable time period ... OK, without kiddin', apparently the motivation for this call was to get people involved in various "core technologies" around GNU/Linux to appear in Ottawa. As we need a GCC conference anyway, it might as well be this venue.

Variable. In Toronto, we had one week with highs in the 20s (70+F), and then the next week we got snow. There are some statistics for Ottawa at: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weatherstatistics/static/C01930.htm The mean temperature in April is 6C (43F), with an average daily high of 11C (52F). That is only 1-2 degrees cooler on average than the Netherlands at the same time of year according to the same site. Jim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Andrew Hutton has contacted a number of folks to measure interest and availability. I don't think that he necessarily needed to talk to the steering committee since this really isn't a political issue. Jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
