CanCodeCon possibilities

[Paul Wayper]

Hi people,

I and several other people from Canberra and Sydney had a really awesome
weekend at CodeCon 2009, run by Peter Miller.  I was wondering if anyone would
be interested in a similar event closer to home.

Option one is to duplicate Peter's formula - find a campground in state forest
(one we can run a generator in, which National parks don't allow apparently)
and go camping for a weekend.  Cost, $30 per person or thereabouts for the
generator, plus bringing your own stuff.

Option two is to hire a wing of the Yarrangobilly Caves guest house.  It's
$500 for a wing over the weekend, but you get seven or nine beds, a full
kitchen, showers and power.  There's also the warm springs there which make
for a nice way to relax, as well as some interesting caves to go see.  If we
get nine people in the guest house this makes it about $55 per person, and I'd
consider anything under five people in the guest house infeasible.

I was thinking of something in the March - April 2010 region - after the heat
has died down but before it gets too cold.

If you're interested in one of these ideas, please post to the list so I can
get an idea of how many people would opt for each one.

Have fun,

Paul

There's also Caloola Farm nearby.

Definitely.

To be honest, the event would loose a lot of appeal for me if it were
not a camping trip.  I think it would be too tempting to sit around
inside all day.

That's a pretty good time.  It won't be as busy as spring, and it
won't conflict with Peter Miller's Codecon.
