Maarten sorry for late reply, but i first want to check if i'm avaliable for
that time and i am (except i'll have to go home for one weekend and then come
back).

I think what Maarten is now looking to get some feedback from framework team
members if they would consider joining this "marathon" and if they have time to
do come. just so he gets confident enough to send public invitation out.
(Maarten: i hope i understood you correctly).

So, would you be interested to come to lovely Arnhem from 28th Oct to 22th Nov
(4 weeks) to work on Plone 5.0? Or would you at least consider coming for only
one/two/three weeks (which weeks)?

And when you talk to your employer about this please don't forget to mention
that this would be _THE_ only way to get plone 5.0 out _THIS_ year. and we
would all like to see this happen, right?
