Dear Cacti Community,

We proudly announce the 3rd European Cacti Community Conference, aka 3.CCC.eu.

Again, it will be held in Essen, Germany at the Linuxhotel.
Impressions of the 1st and 2nd are shown here http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=23267

The next dates to be decided by you !!!

We have set up a DOODLE questionnaire for you to select the most convenient weekend. DOODLE is a development of Luca Previtali and Michael Naef from the famous ETHZ Zuerich (also home of Tobi Oetikers RRDtool) http://www.ethlife.ethz.ch/archive_articles/071204-doodle/index

This is how it works:

• Follow the link to our questionnaire at http://www.doodle.ch/vnkkm99i2hbrepq7
  
• No login is required, so take care of the link and don't misapply
  
• Select your preferred weekend or weekends and click on the individual days when you could participate
  
• In the "Your name" box fill in your community nickname or email address
  
• You can add a comment for a conference subject or any other matter (optional)

The weekend we choose will be the result of the highest number of clicks.
We will then inform you of the final choice and invite you to send us a formal confirmation of your attendance.
This is NOT a final booking, but a means of finding the best date for 3.CCC.eu

The date, agenda and booking requests and prices will be published here (prices will be the same as for the 2.CCC.eu). You may want to arrive on Friday after 5pm. Accomodation is offered at very reasonable prices by Linux Hotel.

Again, we hope that participants from all over Europe will attend.
Last time our guests came from UK, Belgium, Denmark and Germany.
This invitation is targeted at all who

• know Cacti
  
• support the principles of the open source software development
  
• use Cacti in private or commercial context
  
• are interested in using Cacti and want to deepen their knowledge
  
• are developing software and want to extend Cacti
  
• Goals of the Conference are:
  
• casual discussion between attendees
  
• to learn about projects of other attendees and to discuss them
  
• to deepen experience related to any relevant topics
  
• to meet, live or via conference call, with Cacti developers and discuss current goals and the roadmap
  
• to support social networking and have a nice weekend in a wonderful enviroment.

It is not a goal to

• use the results of the conference commercially
  
• publish or disclose confidential information about attendees
  
• found a commercial organisation

Kind regards
and hoping for good attendance.
