I had yet to look at the map at this time. We should really spread our

Not sure if Fun is exactly a good enough reason myself. To me, if we
did
something like Facebook's con. it might be fun. Facebook has a night
every year, starts after working hours, ends before working hours,
where
all the developers of Facebook and Applications come to "code." They
have short lectures but most the night people are taping away on their
laptops with each other working on ideas they got from lectures. This
would be enjoyable and yet help Habari.
If you want to merely have a gathering of the Habari community then
that
alone I feel isn't worth my travel expenses. But if there was
something
big that was going to happen there, such as the planning of the future
of Habari after a major release (doesn't need to be 1.0) then I would
go
to voice my input and hear other people's thoughts.
Though, this is just a thought (or a series of thoughts).
