well, if a tally of who would be planning to attend each location was put up on a wiki or whatever, then you would be able to choose which events are most appealing for you to go to based on 1) location 2) cost 3) people 4) atmosphere 5) agenda 6) features
even when everyone goes to one event, it is not possible to have a genuine and intimate experience with everyone... or even everyone you intend to meet. as for cost and dedication to put on an event... that all depends on the scope and purpose of it. it could be a meetup in chicago for a night of casual socializing and maybe a late-nite party/screening or something. it could be a half-day conference in NYC. it could be a weekend getaway or a week in hawaii or a trip to Europe or a weekend in Boston or LA and so on. The cost would always be in line with the dedication and drive of the team that organizes it. clustercon ha. anyways.... whatever. see what happens. its all good. sull On 3/2/07, Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds great in therory but I wonder if it could work, the amount of > time and energy to put on 1 con at one location, trying to put on > multiple cons and coordinate everything?!..... > > Part of the appeal, at least to me, is getting together with a lot of > different people, you lose that with multiple events, people from the > coasts arn't going to come to Chicago(just throwing a city out there) > or travel to Europe.
