BeGeistert 017 - Gusto Dell'Italia

BeGeistert 017 is a truly international event. For the first time  
ever it will be held outside Germany. This is not only because we are  
still unable to return to our spiritual home in Düsseldorf but also  
to return the visit of so many Italian visitors who have been to  
BeGeistert in the past. We also hope that this also makes it easier  
for others who have so far not been able to come to BeGeistert.

Thanks to the hard work of the Italian BUG BeGeistert will be held in  
a hotel in central Milan. This means that visitors will also have the  
chance to see some of this wonderful city as well as taking part in  
the usual discussions at BeGeistert. It is hoped that people will  
bring their partners for some sightseeing as part of what might be a  
once in a lifetime opportunity.

BeGeistert will cost Euro 90 to attend. This a fixed price covering  
accomodation in a shared room on Friday and Saturday night and  
breakfast. Accomodation is mandatory. An additional night (Sunday)  
for Euro 45 per person per night for a shared room. A single room  
will cost double.

What will there be to do and see?

BeGeistert 017 will give users a chance to see some of th progress  
made both on Haiku and hopefully also Zeta. It has been an  
interesting year for both projects with Haiku going from strength to  
strength (as we have been able to see at previous BeGeisterts) and  
Zeta recovering from the demise of Yellowtab. The emphasis this time  
will be on challenges for developers and users.

Getting to Milan is easy by plane or train. The city has two main  
airports (Malpensa and Linate) and another one Orio al Serio. The  
members of IT-BUG will try and arrange transport to and from the  
airports.
