congrats on getting that out and with a git repo no less.

there's a lot of work to be done here still, however, and it would be great to 
look at it from the perspectives of both plasma and devices.

would we actually have access to them? in past visits to Oslo this was always 
tricky (and i'd essentially just invited myself into the engineering area ;)

a week is pretty long; it's ok for me, but not sure about for others? on the 
one hand it's good timing because i'll be in europe at the end of january, on 
the other hand it's bad timing because i'll already be in europe at the end of 
january, which means a lot of time away from home =P

pricing would be important.

the problem with dinner in Oslo is food selection is poor (esp for us poor 
vegetarians) and very expensive. as in "very".

and February in Oslo is like March here in Calgary. not exactly warm.

other than putting us up at the offices for the meeting, is Qt Software able to 
fund any other parts of the meeting (e.g. hotel)?

if not, i think it may make a lot more sense to focus on Portugal and get a 
decent meeting there. i'll ping pinheiro about this today...
