Hello Michael, Sorry for the top-post, but your actual suggestion is a long way down. :-)
I would certainly be very interested in attending and helping with such an event. It sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately I'm tied up with writing a book, which will probably take me through until May/June. After that I will have more spare time and would love to get involved. If you're heading for an August time you'll need to do a lot of work before then, but if you set a date beyond that then perhaps I can be useful.
