Some details about it: Thanks for your work on this! 1. Which software are we using? We're currently using Prosody [1]. 2. How JIDs will look like? JIDs will look this way: j...@jabber.gnome.org (this to prevent any confusion between the mail alias @gnome.org and the JID used for the jabberd service. I assume this means that XMPP subscriptions that were existing in the old server will be lost with the new server. Is it possible to get an export of the old subscriptions?

Portland is a second tier city and sometimes takes a extra hop because there are not a lot direct flights especially from Europe. That's a nice way to say Only Amsterdam offers a direct flight. Which means everyone from Europe will have to pay the big fee for that flight (~$500 more) or transfer inside the US. Yay. I'm not sure if it will be that much.. but usually a lot of people fly into Seattle or San Francisco and then take the flight to Portland. Even Vancouver works. The flights from Seattle to PDX is only an hour or less. But I'm under no illusion that for some that this might be harder to get to.

Sincerely, for me, taking into account that we are talking about a small event, just starting to move to a different city for the sake of moving is an overkill. AFAIU, the idea of doing it in different city is because of last incident in Boston. It is not for the sake of moving it. And as Benjamin opened the can of Europe is far far away from Portland, this is even worse for people living in small cities. In my case I assisted the Boston summit twice (2009, 2012). And it was a Coruña-Madrid-Boston. In the hypothetical case of repeating this year, that extra hop would mean Coruña-Madrid-Amsterdam-Portland or Coruña-Madrid-Seattle-Boston. But I'm under no illusion that for some that this might be harder to get to. I'm still working the venue and hopefully I'll have something by next week.

If that extra hop means that suddenly every one (or almost every one) interested on assist the summit would need to ask for help (or extra-help) to the travel committee in order to assist, it doesn't matter if we got a venue for free. It would be still really more expensive, and more trip-exhausting. Hi Alejandro, If most people feel this way then I have no problem letting this go. Hopefully, we can find someone to do this in Boston or Montreal. Were it up to me, that would be my recommendation. It's not that we don't like Portland. Hell, if Portlandia is any indication, Portland might be the best city EVER. :) Even the inconvenience of people having to take an extra and/or longer flight, while not great, is not a show-stopper. To me the show-stopper is unbudgeted travel expenses with less than a year's notice. It is my understanding that quite a few usual Boston Summit attendees are within reasonable driving distance of Boston. And Montreal, while a longer drive, is not undoable for this crowd. But at least in the case of my company, the 2013 travel budget was set at the end of 2012. And at the end of 2012, we had no indication that I would have to fly cross-country from Southern New Hampshire to Boston. ;) ;) Whether or not we want to rotate Boston Summit around the country is something for the Foundation membership to decide. If they decide that, great. But let's then ensure we have the location selected in time for companies and the Foundation to include it in their travel budgets.
