[Typelevel Summit Copenhagen, 2017] dates

[larsrh]

We're currently in early planning stages for a possible Typelevel Summit in Copenhagen, happening before or after Scala Days. According to Trifork, the dates for Scala Days will be as follows:

• Training: Tue 30th, Wed 31st May
• Conference: Wed 31st – Fri 2nd

That leaves us with two sensible dates for the Summit: Mon 29st and Sat 3rd. Here are the trade-offs for Monday:

• easier to find a venue
• possible "gap" for attendees who don't wish to participate in the training sessions
• possibility for an unconference day the day after for interested participants

(Opposite for Saturday.)

Opinions?

I think the gap after Monday is likely to be a problem for attendees who aren't participating in the Trifork training.

Selfishly a Saturday would work best for me.

Assuming people are in for 2.5 days of Scala Days and 1 day of Typelevel Summit I'm pretty confident that the lack of an unconference day isn't a deal-breaker.

Here's the result of a poll I ran on the @typelevel Twitter account:

 8% Directly before Scala Days
33% Directly after Scala Days
59% Either

Quick update: I've contacted two different venues for the day after Scala Days. Will update again once I know more.

Final date: June 3; to be announced.
