Dear Greg and Lila and all concerned by the future of LGM,
Thank you both for your constructive comments! In the organisers-meeting there has been some steps made towards clarifying the decision making process, and updating the requirements list. A decision on the next venue should be reached by 15 May. We also established a 'global' organising team with different tasks including infrastructure, a content team and a sponsor team. A report of the meeting can be found here: http://lgm2013.titanpad.com/4 If you are interested in following the discussion, or want to contribute to organising LGM, please sign up to the LGM-organisers list; we would like to continue the discussion there: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-graphics-meeting The CREATE list is for anything Libre Graphics related; your ideas, reports, specific projects etc. Keep them coming!

Some generic comments about LGM site selection. I'm concerned that the decision-making about the most imminent LGM can become such a wide-open process. For 2014, the only sites under discussion should be places where there is a proposal of a specific site, with a clear organizer or group, who hopefully have some track record of being able to organize events. Obviously, previous sites and organizers have a leg up on this, but we can't afford last minute surprises. I would hate to see a bad or poorly attended LGM. This year we had the strength and knowledge of Femke, but even so the internet connection was quite inadequate for a technology-oriented group. For two years into the future, then some proposals can be more tenuous, but even so there should be some champion who can flesh out some details about who will organize the event, know that there is local support of services and maybe even money, and some concrete details about what the community has to offer specifically regarding LGM. I enjoy traveling, and certainly have ideas about what places I would like to visit some day, but LGM isn't some travelogue that always must seek out new places to go. I think what we want is that each meeting is a success and each in some way better than the last. Perhaps one thing which might help would be the creation of a manual of sorts which details the particular needs which LGM has, so that anyone proposing to host LGM knows what they need to put together.
