> My thinking is something along the March-May 2004 lines. Ok, with those dates in mind, we should now worry about our target audience, and where they are coming from (both geographically and socially).
I think date and audience identification, as well as attempting to estimate a size of the gathering are definitely required to be known before you even attempt to pick a city/country/town/whatever. For example, if we wanted this to be a small hackers only conference, we have far more leeway I think in deciding where it will take place. If we were going for a huge mono conference/summit thing, then obviously we couldn't do this in some cool small town in Spain/Brazil/US/Canada/wherever, because the town itself couldn't support that. As well, wrt to it being a larger conference, if we are looking to line up some sort of potential sponsorship/vendor stuff, then the location is of supreme importance. Obviously certain companies would be more or less interested in the conference depending on the location for a number of reasons. --Todd _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
