Winter Get Together Hackathon in the Tropics?

[jboero]

Hi I'm actually taking some time off and buying an old yacht ⛵ in Phuket, Thailand to spend the winter in paradise. I would also love to write a book on GGML and/or do a community book contributing chapters if anyone is interested.

Also if anyone is interested I would love to host a group {Llama,Whisper}.cpp hackathon/getaway if there is enough interest. I will be sailing between Langkawi, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand and have room for 10 people to anchor off an island in 5G coverage and both have some fun and get away from cold northern winter. If more people are interested I can anchor off one of the beach resorts and combine space. Or if more are sailors we can charter an extra boat and tie up for a flotilla. A bit of fun and getting together and face time could be good as I'm in awe of some of your/our code and would love to meet you anyway.

Happy to host who I can casually if you can work remotely and/or get yourselves to a nearby beach or Phuket marina. Also happy to discuss a community book if anyone is interested. I don't particularly care about commissions/revenue but think it would be a fun project. If the stars align for everyone involved and hopefully Ukraine/Middle East conflicts quiet down (or better, end) I would love to meet everyone.

Anyone else interested please do message me. Jan/Feb timeline likely. Code from the beach?
