I' like to sumbit my vote for preferred DevCon 2005 Venue... if a little bit earlier in the year (Jan or Feb) then I propose Pauanui (mmm nice beach) or if its a little later in the year (June or July) Mt Ruapehu (mmm nice skiing - ignore the "eruption-cam" if you google for it).
Also, this would save me airfare and accomodation, so it would be greatly appreciated. If it *has* to be in the states, then Hawaii is also good (if Lilo and Stitch is anything to go by) My 2 cents worth.
