Hi All, I guess it's not carved in stone, but the contract with the venue is already signed. Anyway, I could try to change it, but I'm not sure if it will work out...
However: The only other option left would be CW43 = 20-22 November - and this is clashing with US Thanksgiving. So moving the event to late November would more or less exclude US committers...

W-JAX gets a lots of attention. Its done by the creators of the biggest IT related magazines in germany and therefore they have great ads running. Usually many well known devs speak there. Is it possible to change that date or is it carved in stone?
