So far it seems only the 3 of us are interested but as I am going to be
there anyway I'd be glad if others joined as well too.

I think we should setup a wiki page where people can sign up if they
are interested. Does GPW have a wiki? If not, we can use the the perl6 wiki
in the same way as the NPW people do:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?oslo_perl_6_hackaton_2009

Regarding accommodation, I have not booked mine either yet but I should do
so in the next few days.
