In my experience, events of any nature where convention venue space is
involved, are essentially set in stone before being publicly
advertised as contracts are put in place for hotel room booking blocks
as well as the convention venue space. These spaces are also typically
in a relatively high demand limiting the access and available times to
schedule. Often venues also give preference (and sometimes even better
group discounts) to repeat events as they are typically a known entity
and will have somewhat known needs so the venue and hotel(s) can staff
appropriately.
tl;dr, I personally wouldn't expect any changes to be possible at this
point.
*removes event planning hat of past life, puts personal scheduling hat on*
I imagine that as a community, it is near impossible to schedule
something avoiding holidays for everyone in the community.
I personally have lost count of the number of holidays and special
days that I've spent on business trips over the past four years. While
I may be an out-lier in my feelings on this subject, I'm not upset,
annoyed, or even bitter about lost times. This community is part of my
family.
Agreed.

Hi all,
Not sure how official the information about the next summit is,
but it's on the
web site [1], so I guess worth asking..
Are we planning for the summit to overlap with the May holidays?
The 1st of May
is a holiday in big part of the world. We ask people to skip it in
addition to
3+ weekend days they'll have to spend working and traveling.
To make it worse, 1-3 May are holidays in Russia this time. To
make it even
worse than worse, the week of 29th is the Golden Week in Japan
[2]. Was it
considered? Is it possible to move the days to less conflicting
time (mid-May
maybe)?
Someone else had raised the fact that this also appears to overlap with
Pycon and wondered if the date could be changed. I told them the same
thing. Once these things are announced they are, more or less, an
immovable object.
