Darmstadt is a medium sized German city (154.002 inhabitants, cf [http://www.darmstadt.de/fileadmin/Bilder-Rubriken/Standort/Statistik_und_Stadtforschung/pdf/faltblaetter/ZahlenInKuerze2015-internet.pdf http://www.darmstadt.de]) located in the close neighborhood to Frankfurt, i.e., easy to reach due the airport [http://www.fraport.com/en.html FRA].

It is one of the few cities in Germany that are allowed to call themselves "city of science". The reason is that Darmstadt has clearly dedicated itself to academia and research:, it has a technical university ("TU Darmstadt", founded in 1877) and two universities of applied sciences "h_da" and "Evangelische Hochschule" with 40,616 students in total. Furthermore there are several research institutes, e.g., the [http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESOC European Space Operations Centre], [http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/index.html EUMETSAT] and the [https://www.gsi.de/en/start/news.htm GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research], which discovered with their heavy-ion accelerator chemical elements like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadtium Darmstadtium]. Many technology companies are also located here, e.g. big cooperations like [http://www.telekom.de/ Deutsche Telekom], [http://www.merck.de Merck] but also SMIs like [https://www.cst.com CST] which is a spin-off of TU Darmstadt and the market leader for high-frequency electromagnetic field simulations. | ||
In former times Darmstadt was the seat of government of the German State [https://english.hessen.de Hessen] and thus has still an active cultural life and in particular important architecture from the beginning of the 20th century.

== Questionnaires results == | |||
* All participants are compilers of Octave themselves.The main reason for them to participate to the conference is their interest in the development of Octave Core. Besides that also meeting the other developers in real life seems to be a motivation to join. | |||
* The desired timespan for the conference is for almost all the participants 3 days. | |||
* The amount of talks was to all participants adequate. | |||
* 43% of the participants would like to have more code sprints for 57% the amount of sprints were adequate. | |||
* Everyone liked the excursions, however 4 out of 14 participants thinks that the amount was too high. | |||
* The poster session was appreciated by all participants and there is a slight request to extend it. | |||
* There is also a request to define specific goals before the conference. The most proposed tool to share those goal is the wiki. | |||
* About the financing of the conference: 8 of 14 participants do not care where the money is coming from. For those who care, they want the contribution of the conference fees to the financing as low as possible. For the other contributions there is no clear line. | |||
* 10 out of 14 participants loved t-shirts and half of them thinks that we should stuff like this. | |||
