Clojure Conspiracy goes Euroclojure

Hey there, I know you're going to Euroclojure and since there are a lot of people going from Berlin I thought it could be fun to rent a small bus and go in a group while entertaining ourselves with some clojure related stuff like programmed music or things like lightning talks.

Before I spend more time check if that's possible, what the price would be etc, I'd obviously like to know if people would be interested in that and open to giving up some of there flexibility by going to Krakow and back in a group. I guess we'd probably leave on Wednesday evening and then go back on Sunday so everyone is able to spend some nice weekend in Krakow too!

Now comment and let me know what you think :)

PS: I just came up with this idea like 20min ago when @karlwestin asked on twitter to share a car so maybe it's a bit rough, but I wanted to get it out anyway.

I sent the following via email to all people above b/c gists dont send out email notifications.
If you're interested in joining the bus ride, send me an email or reply here. I'll check occasionally.

I looked up what a bus would cost and came up with a price of roughly 500€ for up to 9 people. The bus [0] seems comfortable and has a high ceiling.

Someone else suggested to get in touch with the ruby people that drove to Wroclav.rb last year or so but they rented a coach for 2000€. Unless we get to ~20 people this won't make much sense.

Open issues:

  • Find someone who's willing to drive — ideally 2 people per journey or so so that one does not have to drive the whole time while people talk about exciting Clojure stuff.
  • Given that there is no hallway in this bus it could be hard to have bigger conversations on the bus. I imagine it might be fun to pair on a problem someone has or play around with a library someone is interested in (core.logic anyone?). I want to make sure that everyone is aware of that.

I'd volunteer to drive but unfortunately don't have a driver's license so I'm out.
