WAY WAY too soon. We should shoot for late may IMO. I don't think anything sooner could be feasibly arranged. I know I can't get a DAY off work before the 20th of feb.

At least me would have trouble to make it there. Yeah, I agree.. Feb is a bit too close for enough planning and travel arrangements. I think a June timeframe would be more reasonable, so people may have trouble getting time off for GUADEC and gimpcon if the two are close together. Norway sounds pretty cool, but I'm not opposed to Brussels. -Yosh ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The list of those attenting will probably change depending on the selected location, so this would have to be an iterative process (maybe even an infinite loop). > just about anywhere in europe would probably be fairly close to the mean, > imo. Yes, it is likely that most participants would be from Europe, so a meeting place in Europe would be better than in the rest of the world (unless all travel expenses are paid by a generous sponsor). > tell them what date we will arrive, ask them if having enough outlets and a > good internet connection in a nice smoking room (that also has a nice > non-smoking closet for simon and drc). Hmmm... I'd be on the side of simon and drc. From my point of view, I would like to have a good internet connection in a nice non-smoking room and make sure that the place has an equally nice non-smoking closet for those who insist on keeping bad habits... ;-) -Raphael ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Yosh wants to go somewhere different. I think we just need to find some people who will get their butts in gear and plan it.
