speaker update
Well, that was easy :) I contacted both Jen Simmons (http://jensimmons.com/) and Gábor Hojtsy (http://hojtsy.hu/) and both immediately wrote back to say they'd be honoured to speak at our camp. Jen is particularly interested in talking about how new technologies like HTML5 APIs are changing the web and how designers as well as developers can participate in that process, and Gábor would ideally like to come and run a multi-day i18n codesprint around the days of the camp. I told them we'd confirm in a few weeks, i.e. after this meeting. Either way, I think this is shaping up to be an excellent event.
i18n codesprint, c'est
i18n codesprint, c'est vraiment cool!
Merci à tous les organisateurs, tout ça se présente très bien à date :)
