He’s a new contributor who has never landed a patch in Neutron or Tempest. Closing the testing gaps with experienced devs is the goal of the Montreal sprint and I do not think we’ll have manpower to onboard new contributors (3 days is a really short time). While I’m happy to welcome more workers there, I do not want to waste his time or PLUMgrid’s resources.</div><div><br></div><div><div>mark</div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 19, 2013, at 7:02 PM, Edgar Magana <<a href="mailto:emagana@plumgrid.com">emagana@plumgrid.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Anita,<div><br></div><div>Fawad and Myself will be also attending.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW.

<br>
What: Neutron Tempest code sprint<br>
Where: Montreal, QC, Canada<br>
When: January 15, 16, 17 2014<br>
Location: I am about to sign the contract for Salle du Parc at 3625 Parc<br>
avenue, a room in a residence of McGill University.<br>
Time: 9am - 5am<br>
<br>
I am expecting to see the following people in Montreal in January:<br>
Mark McClain<br>
Salvatore Orlando<br>
Sean Dague<br>
Matt Trenish<br>
Jay Pipes<br>
Sukhdev Kapur<br>
Miguel Lavelle<br>
Oleg Bondarev<br>
Rossella Sblendido<br>
Emilien Macchi<br>
Sylvain Afchain<br>
Nicolas Planel<br>
Kyle Mestery<br>
Dane Leblanc<br>
Sumit Naiksatam<br>
Henry Gessau<br>
Don Kehn<br>
Carl Baldwin<br>
Justin Hammond<br>
Anita Kuno<br>
<br>
If you are on the above list and can't attend, please email me so I have<br>
an up-to-date list. If you are planning on attending and I don't have<br>
your name listed, please email me without delay so that I can add you<br>
and you get done what you need to get done to attend.<br>
<br>
I have the contract for the room and will be signing it and sending it<br>
in with the room deposit tomorrow. Monty has about 6 more hours to get<br>
back to me on this, then I just have to go ahead and do it.<br>
<br>
Caterer is booked and I will be doing menu selection over the holidays.<br>
I can post the intended, _the intended_ menu once I have decided. Soup,<br>
salad, sandwich - not glamourous but hopefully filling. If the menu on<br>
the day isn't the same as what I post, please forgive me. Unforeseen<br>
circumstances may crop up and I will do my best to get you fed. One<br>
person has identified they have a specific food request, if there are<br>
any more out there, please email me now. This covers breakfast, lunch<br>
and tea/coffee all day.<br>
<br>
Henry Gessau will be social convener for dinners. If you have some<br>
restaurant suggestions, please contact Henry. Organization of dinners<br>
will take place once we congregate in our meeting room.<br>
<br>
T-shirts: we decided that the code quality of Neutron was a higher<br>
priority than t-shirts.<br>
<br>
One person required a letter of invitation for visa purposes and<br>
received it. I hope the visa has been granted.<br>
<br>
Individuals arrangements for hotels seem to be going well from what I<br>
have been hearing. A few people will be staying at Le Nouvel Hotel,<br>
thanks for finding that one, Rosella.<br>
<br>
Weather: well you got me on this one. This winter is colder than we have<br>
had in some time and more snow too. So it will be beautiful but bring or<br>
buy warm clothes. A few suggestions:<br>
* layer your clothes (t-shirt, turtleneck, sweatshirt)<br>
* boots with removable liners (this is my boot of choice:<br>
<a href="http://amzn.to/19ddJve" target="_blank">http://amzn.to/19ddJve</a>) remove the liners at the end of each day to dry them<br>
* warm coat<br>
* toque (wool unless you are allergic) I'm seeing them for $35, don't<br>
pay that much, you should be able to get something warm for $15 or less<br>
* warm socks (cotton socks and wool over top)- keep your feet dry<br>
* mitts (mitts keep my fingers warmer than gloves)<br>
* scarf<br>
If the weather is making you panic, talk to me and I will see about<br>
bringing some of my extra accessories with me. The style might not be<br>
you but you will be warm.<br>
<br>
Remember, don't lick the flagpole. It doesn't matter what your friends<br>
tell you.<br>
<br>
That's all I can think of, if I missed something, email me.<br>
<br>
Oh, and best to consider me offline from Jan.2 until the code sprint.<br>
Make sure you have all the information you need prior to that time.<br>
<br>
See you in Montreal,<br>
Anita.<br>
