re: Linuxtag 2007 in Berlin

Say, here's a crazy idea: hold Wineconf in Berlin
right before Linuxtag... that might make it easier
to get the booth staffed... and it might attract
a bunch of not-yet-wine-developers to wineconf.

Wineconf 2005 did something like that with the
much smaller SambaXP conference

May 30th seems like fairly short notice.  You're also
into peak travel season, which we've historically tried
to avoid to help mitigate costs.  (A ticket MSP->BER
is $1,125 end of May; same ticket is $700 for travel
mid April).

But I don't think the general principle is bad;
particularly if Wineconf happens on the weekend
before or after a trade show, it may make the travel easier
for some folks.

I had been thinking we could repeat in the fall;
mid to late September time frame.

I believe the first Wineconf was in the spring, the next one,
I think, was roughly 20 months later in the dead
of Winter, followed by spring in Germany, and then fall
in England; an approximate average of 16 months between.
Hmm.  That does suggest winter in Minnesota again, doesn't it? <evil grin>

Seriously, I'd rather not have it go more than a year
between meetings; that's why I was thinking fall.

Other opinions?

Cheers,

Sounds good for me. Dan's idea with LinuxTag would be a bit tricky for me, as 
I'll probably be organizing the WorldForge booth again, being the only active 
German in that project.

So to make a cross-thread reference, the Netherlands would be a +1 from me, 
too, Amsterdam or Utrecht both are fine.

Cheers,
Kai
