It would certainly be interesting to share a sprint with other KDE projects. On the other hand, Randa is difficult and expensive to reach... Personally I would prefer to have an easier to reach location (like Berlin), but I guess we'll be able to manage. But the travel costs are going to be huge! -- Boudewijn Rempt http://www.valdyas.org, http://www.krita.org, http://www.boudewijnrempt.nl _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
