Wow!
I think with those atractives nobody will refuse to go Amsterdam! (Never been there)
An oh..of course that was the creation place, so now number 2 on the list:
2. When?
When? That my friend we don't know...
Hello all,
I am in the hospitality business and organise events for a number of blue chips – in short my company is the best in the business.
I get good rates on hotels, restaurants and have excellent connections for all things conference throughout Europe. So if Italy, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Uk or Ireland is a possible venue for the proposed event, I will be happy to get involved. I am a big fan of XDA.
Work is on going on our website just now so I am aware that a number of pages need updating... its in the hands of the HTML engineer... link in my signature if ya wanna have a look at what we do.
Best,
J
This would be pretty cool however i've never seen it work out in any other forum. I think the best thing to do would be to create a poll and see where most people are located. Say there's a bundle in California, then we could have one in LA or some place close to all Californians. Same thing for other states, countries, even cities, etc. We could then all share our experiences. As for me, i'm in Southern California, hence the reason i used it
More or less this event might take place in the US or somewhere in Europe...only few asian are here...
It is a nice idea. Make it a convention and invite some guest speakers to show off the future of mobile devices, have reps from HTC and others perhaps like Sony, Motorola, Nokia, Jabra, etc... showing off newest gadgets and gear - Workshop seminars and stuff like that. It could be a fun time to meet some of our members in person, talk, show off our devices and envy the other person's device and a good learning opportunity as well.

it won't be an eyeball anymore. It will look like a convention, a meeting, etc. And that will be boring because everyone should be formal. Just an "ORDINARY' but "GRANDacious" eyeball.. exclusively fro XDA-DEV members and if you like we can invite M$ as our guest speaker..LOL
Just a regular GRAND EYEBALL, just to meet each and everyone here at XDA-DEV. No paper works, no signing up just beer and phones and girls too...

Agree with the poll
Starting form there we can see how many would like to attend and where most people is located
But I must say that I agree with Daveshaw that the best place should be where all this started: Amsterdam!
So who is going to create the poll?
Yeah, Amsterdam would be great! And there will be raffle promos and HTC Devices giveaways courtesy of all xda-dev's moderators and admins... Come one let's make this happen.
Great poll!
LOL
Last option looks pretty cool!
hehehe if that last option wins...you got to pay my expenses going to your place!

just a cent from a newbee, i hope this great idea will happen sooner...
i agree however that safety, next of course to resources, is definitely the issue needed to be considered by anyone else. but who's safe nowadays? i dont think there's a better place than our own abode (just be sure our better half is out.. lol)..
a little clarification though about Philippines vis a vis Abu Sayaff (ASG). ASG concentrates mostly in northern part of Mindanao and now being relentlessly pursued. on the otherhand, there are great places in the Philippines particularly in Luzon & Visayas, although as i've said cant be considered safer that our homes. But on the brighter side, your 1$ to Php47.++ is quite noteworthy of consideration.... more than double the fun i guess
Btw, considering the "safety" issue as quoted, i voted for the last option (peace orb...)
cheers...

Has been a long time since Mexico didnt gave us a Cup... neither a beer cup!
So... many manager has pass around and the team cant make one just nice game... but "The Vasco" Javier Aguirre comes and reprend the team shout a lil and give'em some nice advice to the team.
So our team, our soccer team wins the Cup.
Cheers Mexican lets celebrate this, as i say its been a long time.
from taragana sports...
The fiesta was on.
Jose Antonio Castro and Guillermo Franco put the finishing touches on Mexico’s first win at the United States since March 1989. Castro scored off a great through-pass from Vela, a substitute who energized Mexico when he entered the game after halftime.
The United States, fielding an inexperienced squad after the top team finished second in the Confederations Cup last month, could not maintain American dominance of its continental rival. Not even close.
Mexico was 0-9-2 at the United States since its last win, and fell 2-0 in February in a World Cup qualifier. The nations meet again in Mexico City on Aug. 12, but then the full American roster will be on hand, along with several of the players who carried El Tri to this Gold Cup crown.
But that is another story. For now, after a 10-year wait, there was sweet victory in commanding style.
At the final whistle, the green-clad Mexican players stormed onto the field in jubilation, mobbing Dos Santos, who was voted the game’s most valuable player. Then they saluted the crowd that made the Meadowlands sound more like Mexico City, making a tour of the pitch with the trophy in hand.
For the Americans, it was a return to reality. After Bob Bradley coached them to a runner-up finish in the Confederations Cup in South Africa, he gave most of the players a pass for the Gold Cup. Still, the untested fill-ins showed versatility and fortitude — at least until Mexico ran over them in a spectacular 45-minute offensive onslaught.
So in the net arent pics cause it past at least 10 minutes so please upload some pics.

oh yeah!! carnal bailaron al son del PA PE PI PO PU!! 5 NADAMAS!

This means nothing..The World cup is what determines which teams is the best of all 32 nations. Brazil is going to win the World cup this time
HAHAHA
Are you from USA? oh yeah I understand that comment...
Well its true... Mexico is not a rival for european teams i have the same felling Brazil will wins the WORLD CUP!
at least... Italy sow the worst face of his team this year...
I'm from U.S but I consider myself Latino/Hispanic
And yeah Brazil has always been my favorite team.
Viva Italia! They will have a great chance of winning another cup!!

I doubt Brazil Since almost all its old/good players are playing so they might not win and the one ending up winning might be France/Italy/Germany since they are one the strongest teams over seas

dont get your hopes up... Italy won the world cup because of the penalty kicks and thats it..ive seen them playing and they played unprofessional...who in the world would think that italy would win the world cup...germany could be the next world champions
Unfortunately, i don't think italy will win the next world cup. Not always the best team wins (i not saing italy is the best, for sure brasil nowadays is better), sometimes it's just "luck" which decides matchs. In 2006 we won aganist australia thank to a penality in the last few minutes, we won aganist germany at the last minute (by the way it was a GREAT victory) and we won the final with penalitys.
Masacre!
video attached! jajaja in first post

Italy is actually pretty good, just that they make minor errors when they play which is normal (they make to many) and Brazil actually has fallen in overall (in my opinion) But we'll have to see Next Year to see who has improved over these last 4 yrs
Haha Saw the vid.
Also USA are big fkin sore losers they get over aggressive cheat and actually try to start fights and Mexico they usually take it calmly and i guess they dont play like tht. Mexico should have a chance next year if they play like in this game but with improvement.
Thats the spirit!!!
Hahaha well it seems that you arent Mexican!

A friend of mine over at a Swedish forum has completely forgotten the name of a movie he'd like to re-watch. Now, I asked him to write a few elements he could remember from it and this is basically it:
The beginning of the movie plays out in England, and someone is murdered by someone else. The movie plays out in 18th or 19th century England and France. Englishmen and former Frenchmen go to France to war. The Englishmen don't like the former French soldiers that much so a little disagreement occur on the boat ride to France. I don't remember the movie so much as it was a few years since I saw it. I remember a few more scenes, though. They fight a war on a bridge where they fire cannons at each other and the Brits put a helmet on a rifle which is immediately hit by a French bullet. The former Frenchmen (who left France for some apparent reason only to come back to war) visit an old village in which they used to live and while they're there, they're occupied by the soldiers of the French army, to which the former Frenchmen surrender. The French army take all the people in the village including the former Frenchmen and decapitate everyone using guillotines.
It is not Battle of the Brave.
As I'm pretty sure there is already an Off-Topic movie thread where this should have been posted ...
... ib4l
Sorry about that, didn't see one.
Anyways, it's not necessarily a movie. Might be a series/mini-series.
