ping point, at some great risk, as some of the comments give the impression. It may require staying in one location for an additional year to shore things up, and get the foundation built to the next level, but even that I am not convinced of. We had a similar issue back in 2006/2007 where we had gotten to the size that we needed to think more than 1-2 years in the future, and we were less than a year out from the next conference. We put out the call, and people stepped up. We planned 4 years in advance, and got it done. The Montreal group put together a fantastic bid last year and we are set through 2015. Sounding the alarm is important, but now that it has been sounded, I expect people will rally. -Doug > > -- > Fabio Pliger > linkedin  http://it.linkedin.com/in/fabiopliger > twitter  http://twitter.com/b_smoke > > > ___ > Europython-improve mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve > ___ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
