I agree that the sooner a space and date can be decided the better.
While Sudbury would probably be nice, it would be a tough sell because
of the distance from me (9.5 hrs). The others are all doable. Any ideas
on how we should decide? Some sort of ranked list? I personally would
enjoy going back to Montreal and I'd like to visit Ottawa, but Kingston
is the closest.
As far as dates, I'd personally like it to be on a Monday or Friday,
this way I would only have to take one (or 1.5) days off from work, and,
I can take the weekend to explore. (BTW: I'd like Monday better than
Friday, but either would be better than a Tuesday or Wednesday (Thursday
being my third choice). I guess I could do a weekend as well, but I
would think most people would rather it be during the week,

So far on the wiki the proposals for the location range from the
center of known space to "let's all visit Dan!":
- Toronto
- Kingston
- Ottawa
- Sudbury
- Montreal
Given some of the far-flung people who have expressed interest in the
meeting, including some people in Wisconsin (!), it would be
interesting to figure out the weighted average travel time required
for all of these locations, but I suspect that that would just mean we
end up in Toronto, again.
I just added Montreal to the list, just because, hey, it's Montreal!
But then, we'd have to find somebody at McGill to act as our host.
If we're going to be meeting in April/May, then it's probably time to
start the discussion about site selection so that when the decision is
made, the hosts will have time to make the arrangements and so that
people travelling have enough lead time to make cheap travel
arrangements.
