Info on acceptance or rejection will be sent the latest on 26th of February 2024.

Preliminary schedule

Note that we will wrap up the meeting already on Thursday evening since, due to travel plans, we will only have a reduced number of core contributors on site on Friday morning. But there will be a room available to continue the work till Friday at noon for those that do not have to travel already in the morning.

Also note that the hybrid slots are meant to synchronize with core contributors that cannot join the meeting in Prague. We do not plan to continuously coordinate online contributions during the meeting. Hence, online-only participation is not planned.

Reimbursement

For confirmed on-site participants who are approved OPENSENSE member, all costs will be covered by OPENSENSE, following the rules of COST, i.e.  reimbursement of travel costs + a daily allowance. The COST table for daily allowance is here
