At the moment, 12 people reported their interest. Projects (each person is associated with several projects): Debian-BR-CDD: 2 Debian Edu: 2 Debian Jr: 2 Debian NP: 7 Debian-Med: 1 LliureX: 1 Morphix: 1 Ubuntu: 2 UserLinux: 1 Departing country: (Europa) Belgia: 1 Germany: 1 Italy: 2 Netherlands: 1 Norway: 1 Spain: 1 (N-America) Canada: 1 USA: 1 (S-America) Brazil: 2 I've seen two proposals for location, Andreas Tille suggested Testzentrum in G�tersloh, and Marco Presi suggested somewhere in Italy. I find it unsafe to set my foot on an USA airport, so that is out of the question for me. I'm open for suggestions otherwise. Looking at the departing countries, I believe somewhere in Europe will be the best option. It would need to have good connections to Brazil, USA and Canada, and should have direct flights from the European contries as well. Schipol, Heathrow and Frankfurt comes to mind as good airports to focus on. Do we have any good locations close to these airports? A gathering should be scheduled 2-3 months in the future to make sure we can find cheap tickets. > If you know anyone interested in sponsoring such event, please let > me know.

SLX Debian Labs would probably be interested to sponsor this, but it would be good to find more sponsors to keep the load on SLX Debian Labs at a reasonable level. Assuming flight prizes on the average 600 EURO per person, we are looking at 7200 EURO for flights, plus food and accommodation.
