I think it needs to be at least 2 days long for people coming from Euro= pe or=20 farther, otherwise it might not be worth it for them to come. Or it nee= ds=20 to happen during, after or before another interesting conference. The Google Mentor Summit is in Mountain View: - October 25(Sat)-26(Sun) (http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline) Maybe we can have the GitTogether also in Montain View just after that:= =20 - October 27(Mon)-28(Tue) so that the 3 mentors that come to the mentor summit just have to stay = to 2=20 more days there. > I don't really know what our community is interested in doing. > So I'm just tossing out ideas and seeing what sticks.
