DrupalCon poor planning around Jewish Holidays two years running
Not sure where to put this, so hear goes... I was in Europe the week before DrupalCon last year, but went home before DrupalCon so I could observe my religions Holiest day of the year. This year I decided to make at least a couple days of DrupalCon. But I'm confounded by the poor planning two years running. Could the powers-that-be please schedule my sessions on the first 2 days (Thu or Fri morning). And further, could we not schedule DrupalCon during these Holidays next year? I'll be observing the Jewish High Holidays in Barcelona this year. Does anyone on this list belong to any congregation in Barcelona? I'm hoping to go to services on Rosh Hashanah (evening Wed 9/12 and morning Thu 9/13) and Yom Kippur (evening Fri 9/21 and daytime Sat 9/22). I've tried to contact the Reform congregation, but have had no success. Since I suspect most of the Reform Congregation will be in Spanish, I'd be happy to try any other synagogue. http://www.kosherdelight.com/SpainSynagoguesBarcelona.htm * Comunitat Jueva Atid De Catalunya (Reform) The Jewish Community of Catalunya* Tel: +34 93 417 37 04 Fax: +34 93 417 37 04 Email: info@atid.es <mailto:info@atid.es> , secretary@atid.es <mailto:secretary@atid.es> Website: http://atid.es/en/index.php Thanks!
I suspect Moshe will respond directly as well, but when I spoke with him last week, he had made some plans around this and found some interesting and suitable events to take part in in Barcelona. Note that it's generally the local conference organizers that set final dates and such. On 8/3/07, Doug Green <douggreen@douggreenconsulting.com> wrote:

I wasn't aware of this -- and I don't think any of the other co- organizers were either. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
This was actually brought up on the list more than once. Also, would the presentations be selected by votes as they were in DrupalCon U.S.A? thnx
organizers were either. Sorry for the inconvenience.
