Well Qole, it's like when there are very cool conferences, meeting, workshops running in California and we (Europeans) can't come :)

Now it's your turn :p eheh

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

Indeed, there are many conferences that I wouldn't dream of going to just because they are held at the 'other side of the world' from me.

BTW, what's the name of the 'main' Berlin airport? I see three in the LH timetable (GVM application :)). Berlin Tegel?

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

Ryanair lands at Schonefeld, so I suppose this one is not the main one.
Alitalia lands (at least, they do when they take off) at the Tegel one.
So...probably Tegel ?

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

Yep Tegel is the main one, Tempelhof is being closed down iirc and Schoenenfeld is shared between RyanAir and the military iirc.

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

Airberlin also use Schoenenfeld.

Yeah. I wasn't saying that it was a bad thing that Nokia and the Summit are in Europe, just that it is a bad thing for me.

Looks like my cheapest flight (from itravel2000.com) would be $490 CAD plus taxes from YVR on "LTU" (Air Berlin's long-haul arm) to Dusseldorf and then on Air Berlin to TXL.

(That's really going to make the sponsorship guys think long and hard... :( )

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

Well 490$ CAD is not that much if you think of it.
Nokia surely can afford it considering that many contributors will use cheap EU flights (or at least that's what it looks like).

If you deserve it, they will make it.

I'm even self-funding since I can get to Essen for the outbound trip and go back from Apeldoorn on the way back. 29 EUR: Essen -> Berlin, 39 EUR: Berlin -> Apeldoorn.

Figured since I want more people there, not taking money might help :-)

Re: Maemo Summit: registration open and free
 

I'll be funding myself to the Maemo Summit for the exact same reasons as Jaffa. I'm possibly attending OSiM too if I can justify the cost.
