On behalf of the Haiku Support Association (HSA), we'd like to invite you to our 23rd BeGeistert meeting on the weekend of 23./24. of October 2010. It will be held as usual in the nice conference rooms of the youth hostel in Düsseldorf, Germany.

BeGeistert is an excellent opportunity to mingle with and learn from other users and developers from all over Europe (and beyond: this year we're happy to be joined by Rene Gollent, flying over from the US, and Christof Lutteroth and Clemens Zeidler from New Zealand!). Hear about other people's projects or present your own, meet many of Haiku's core developers and discuss the future of Haiku. Or present your favorite KDL and see if our gurus can successfully debug it...

Preceding the BeGeistert weekend, there will be the usual weeklong Code Sprint (18.-22. of October 2010). The additional rent for the needed room is partly financed by Haiku Inc., so many thanks for that!

If you want to join the gang and help bring Haiku another big step forward, contact Stephan Aßmus as soon as possible.

As last BeGeistert, we'll have a separate workshop day on Monday, 25. of October 2010. This time Axel Dörfler will host the tutorial. It's planned to program a simple game, showing off multi-threading, messaging and queries; all tailored to the participants' coding skills of course. A perfect opportunity to pick the brains of one of Haiku's major architects.

The workshop has to be booked separately from the BeGeistert weekend and since places are limited, it's recommended to do so quickly!

Register now on the BeGeistert website!

Prices:

Per night, incl. breakfast: 24,80 EUR
BeGeistert weekend, incl. lunch: 35,00 EUR
Programming workshop on Monday: 75,00 EUR

Very nice write up Humdinger! I enjoyed the read. I hope you have a very good event and time out there!

For some reason I thought Rene was in France. Good of you to let us know which country some of these people are coming from because I have to guess otherwise.

Sounds good. Multi-threading (SMP) is one of the cool things about Haiku. I hope it will show frames per second and allow setting number of threads. (ie: to compare performance as thread count increases on multi-core proecessor)

You'd be forgiven for guessing that in my case since my first name is indeed French. To make matters more confusing though, I'm originally from Austria :)

Re: BeGeistert 023 - Prime Time

Austria would be cool place to visit sometime. Someday I will have to go check it out myself.

Sounds like lots will happen at this year's event. I am sure to read all about it in one of the blog posts from Humdinger or Stippi! Will be interesting to learn what was discussed and happened there.

I hope everyone has a good time and lots of fun too!

Is there any chance that Axel's workshop will be made available in some form at a later date for those of us who aren't able to be at BeGeistert?
