Hi Mark,

I'm sorry, but I probably can't make the hackathon. I've unregistered via the site.
 
Unfortunately, the French government is being very French about my visa paperwork and it's unclear to me if I'll get my new visa in time for the conference. I can't leave you hanging on whether or not to sponsor me or reserve rooms.

This really frustrates me because I've attended every QA-hackathon to date and we applied for my visa renewal in November :(

Cheers,
Ovid

Thanks for letting us know, and poo to le French Government.

That is massively frustrating and we have already booked a room in your
name, i think we will get Schwern into that room and just pretend he is
called Ovid - I doubt the hotel will check.

Kind regards

Mark

Sorry you can't make it Curtis. It won't be the same without you. :-/

Come to think of it, it might be a whole lot quieter if we're not
fighting like a married couple. ;)

We need the antithesis of rubber-duck debugging. Some kind of stuffed
toy that just continually disagrees with you ;-)

Nóirín has a reprogrammable Ken doll, and if Curtis wanted to volunteer
a few audio recordings we could make this happen.
