GUADEC 2006 is being held in Futbolandia during the FIFA World Cup, so expect to have football in the background, as any other serious activity has in this country. ;) The skeleton schedule refers to a football match GNOME-KDE, and as far I remember Dave and Rodrigo already offered themselves to wear the GNOME t-shirt. Dave had this great idea of having instead a GNOME - Rest of the World match, since we are going to invite not only KDE developers but also people from Xfce, X, freedesktop.org and any other free desktop interested to come and join us. We need a local organizer (I'll forward this to the guadec-local list), GNOME players and a captain. Once we have agreed the basics of the game we will contact "the visitors" to help them build a competitive team. About the technical aspects, I think it's easier/better/funnier to go for a futsal [1] match instead of an official 11 players football game. Easier to complete a team with players in the bench, easier to find a location, easier to get the tier more full than empty... I guess also easier for the regular hackers to finish the game before exhaustion. We need a location with sound system, official T-shirts (yes, with your name and logo in it), real referrers, a raffle in the break, a big trophy for the winner and a small trophy for the... finalist. None of these are difficult to get in Futbolandia as fas as we have an organizer and a small budget. Of course we also need to find the appropriate moment, not overlapping with any World Cup football match. :) -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
