FAQ FalterCon 2007

What is FalterCon?

When WalterCon is out, FalterCon is in.FalterCon 2007 is an impromptu gathering of Haiku users, developers and supporters initiated spontaneously by the community in response to the last minute cancellation of the WalterCon 2007 conference by the Haiku project.

What is it all about?

We will be gathering to get to know each other, do some much needed advocacy/PR for Haiku (we will bring leaflets and CDs to hand out), exchange information about the project and, of course, have some fun! Some of us will bring our laptops with us, and some network gear (ie., wifi router, cables, etc.) so that we can access the net from Haiku. Keep an eye on the forums for the details as they develop.

When and where?

How do I join?

Anyone interested in Haiku is welcome to join us! All you have to do is...

  • RSVP using the Picn*x 16 RSVP Form
  • Contact us to let us know that you are coming! (a list of the confirmed attendees here)
  • And show up! (We will come up with a way to find each other)

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Yes, you read correctly: it is free of charge, and it includes food too. Be sure to make your grill selection when you RSVP!

Will you have a webcast?

Live video feed from FalterCon.We had a live video feed with chat of FalterCon 2007 using USTREAM.tv; approximately 30 people joined us remotely from various parts of the world (thank you everyone!). For those who missed the live webcast, there is a video of FalterCon 2007 here; this video was recorded by Mike Summers and Urias McCullough, and edited by Phil Greenway.

I am not attending, but can I help in any way?

Help us spread the word. Grab the FalterCon 2007 banner and/or button and post it on your website!

Will there be more FalterCons in the future?

Being part of Picn*x was a lot of fun, so it is likely that some of us will participate again next year. Whether we need to call this future gathering FalterCon again, that remains to be seen. Hopefully not, but everything is possible.
