I also want to double stress the importance of getting an official
invitation out early is crucial. People from overseas might need to go
through a visa application process to attend, which might take several
months (and is not seldomly tied to an official invitation)

Coreboot hackaton 2016 (proposal in Paris)

[ron minnich]

So, I think in the next day, we should pick the location and date for the
"spring" meeting. I'd also suggest it be a 6 month interval between
meetings, which is the other reason I thought end of  january was a bit too
soon.

Sound OK?

What Stefan says is very true. I have friends here in the US who must have
2016 travel approved by dec. 31 2015.
