This in from BeGeistert's Charlie Clark, in an updated status, to let everyone know how BeGeistert 10 is coming along. And it appears it's coming along very well indeed. It could be the biggest ever. Let me quote some parts:

"We're building up to our biggest spring BeGeistert ever and if things carry on like this it might even be the biggest BeGeistert ever. It's really great to see the active BeOS community growing!

BeGeistert 010 really is looking like being a bit special: Sergei "fyysik" Dolgov has promised to do some work on Mozilla while he's over and in addition to several OpenBeOS developers we're looking forward to seeing Frans van Nispen of Xentronix (Refraction, Sample Studio) and the new operating system "Sequel". Bernd Korz will be there to present Zeta and Oliver Kohl will be showing "Fontboy". We always welcome additional contributions: pass your knowledge on.

BeGeistert is getting more and more international with Daniel "DaaT"
Teixeira (editor's note: hey, that's me!!) coming from Portugal to join BeOS Journal colleague Chris Simmons. Christian Celona and Giuseppe Gargargo of the Italian BUG and they're planning their own "BeGeistert on Tour - Marco Polo" in Padua as part of webb.it from 9th to 11th May. More details here.

Please note: we won't have any kind of internet connection at 010 so don't expect a webcam or any kind of "live" reports, make a note to come to the next BeGeistert instead!

Bringing in food and drink onto the premises is not be allowed. As this is part of the conditions of the rent we will have to make sure this is the case;

For all of those attending but who won't stay overnight (...) you still need to register before 10th April because a midday meal is compulsory for all those attending. This means that we basically won't be able to let people in who haven't registered as it wouldn't be fair on the others and we don't want any problems with the Youth Hostel."

Well, there you have, the lowdown on how BeGeistert 10 is coming along. I can tell you this, it's going to ROCK! Can't wait.

Update: After a precise and well lead investigation, a conclusion was drawn onto why will this probably be the biggest BeGeistert ever. It is a known fact that BGA might attend BeGeistert #11, so people are seeing #10 like the last "BGA-free BeGeistert", a more than powerful reason for everyone who can to attend April's meeting.
