The #1 thing we must have at GUADEC is the following:
I’ve already informed him that his attendance is mandatory, but I think we need more aggressive methods to actually make it happen. I’m mainly looking for a kidnapping expert, but other suggestions are also welcome.
I recommend Beer, or bribery.
More carrot less stick.
Beer doesn’t work, he doesn’t drink
If he has special meals/accommodation requirements, just tell us…
