Sorry for the delay since launching this discussion.
Thanks very much for the offer of support - that's very generous.
Cambridge is a good choice - close to a major airport with a good
train connection to town, plenty of accommodation, and hopefully easy
to find a suitable venue. Most importantly, though, no shortage of
great pubs.

I think we should look into finding a date. Time flies (I swear it was
only a couple of weeks since I sent the original email, but it turns
out it's been over a month!), and before we know it, it will be upon
us!
I believe there was mention of a teleconf call (Google Hangouts worked
brilliantly last time), so perhaps we could schedule one of these for
sometime this weekend or next week to discuss this further?
I believe the problem was a limit of 10 for Google Hangouts. My last
experience thereof (at the GNU Cauldron) was less than ideal. For now
let's go for a teleconference. Could people indicate which of the
following they prefer
Thu 25 Jul @ 5pm UK time
Thu 25 Jul @ 6pm UK time
Fri 26 Jul @ 5pm UK time
Fri 26 Jul @ 6pm UK time
Mon 29 Jul @ 5pm UK time
Mon 29 Jul @ 6pm UK time
I'll then set it up and send out an email.
However, may I suggest some possible dates (all Saturdays):
31st August
28th September
5th October
12th October
(I'm away 7, 14 and 21 September unfortunately... speaking at OHS2013
on Sept 6th actually!)
Probably August is too soon I think. I prefer a date in October. I'm
not sure it's such a big deal people are back at school/university -
it's a weekend thing and I'd like to run it in a similar way to last
year where we start after Lunch on Saturday allowing people to travel
in the morning. Cambridge is close to Stansted.
31st Aug is also a big UK public holiday.
University term in Cambridge starts on 2 October, which may make room
availability slightly harder, but I'm not sure that is a big factor.
Quick check shows Ryanair (aarggh) has a flight from Stockholm arriving
11:00am on the Saturday and leaving at 4:55pm on the Sunday.
Maybe run a doodle poll again with dates to see which fits most?
Yup - we can set this up after the phone conference.
Best wishes,
Jeremy
