> According to the OOoCon 2004 attendee survey and some feedback > about last year's conference, proposed locations should meet > the following requirements as much as possible:
> * be near enough to allow a large number of Sun's > OpenOffice.org developers, who are in Hamburg, to attend > * cheap flight and train tickets well, so very little chance for these four As: (central+southern) Africa, (southern) America, Asia, and Australasia (not to mention another two As: Arctic and Antartic, kidding :P) ( I'm really not against Europe, as it really is the strongesthold of OOo at this moment. if Europe got it again this year (or even for all next two years), it it justified, well deserved. Just a little surprise to see a (implicitly) location preference in the "requirements" list, nothing more than that.) cheers, Art
