http://blog.athico.com/2010/04/drools-oss-meeting-reminder-19th-23rd.html ----- Due to unexpected levels of attendance we've moved the event from the provided location to a larger one. This provided the opportunity to locate the event at a hotel, so people can stay in the same building as the meeting. We are now located at the Hacienda Hotel <http://haciendahotel-oldtown.com/> in Old Town, near plenty of restaurants and a trolley bus to Down Town which is 10 minutes away. So if you have booked another hotel I would recommend you cancel it and relocate to the Hacienda. A special hotel rate of $110 per night is available under the booking reference "Drools", but hurry as space is limited and we have not done any block reservations. The event itself is free of charge. Breakfast will be provided each morning, as part of the conference, and coffee will be available throughout the day. If anyone would like to sponsor lunch, let me know :) mproctor at codehaus d0t org. Hacienda Hotel <http://haciendahotel-oldtown.com/> (4041 Harney Street .
