I could arrange something at the hackerspace and social community center it is located in (Soziales Zentrum Bochum) or something in the broader region of the Ruhrarea. But as some people have already noticed, past GHMs have been in Europe and for location diversity and good oportunities of people living elsewhere it would be good to organize in different regions. But I have notived that in previous years we had multiple GHMs in different countries or regions of countries in one year. So if we had GHM 2019 Brazil and GHM 2019 Russia and Germany, would that work out? I've noticed that handling of payments should have been moved to an external organization after last GHM. Local people organize the venues. Are there any major roadblockers for multiple regions per year? -- GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://c.n0.is/ng0_pubkeys/tree/keys WWW: https://n0.is signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Depending on the federal state where 'somewhere' is (travel costs), I'm interested but can't be certain of my bank account in the future. So more of a maybe with the tendency to yes. > J' -- ng0

If something like this would be in place next time, I could attend. Is there a country/region already for the next meeting so I could help locate/gather potential venues and hostels and similar places? -- ng0
