Dimi and Ivan like 6.
I like 1 (Minneapolis, US) as well. Another option folks would be Toronto. It will not be hot in Jan, but it's kind of in the middle (it's almost same distance from West Coast, as it is from England), it's a major air hub (so you can probably get direct flights, which is good), and we have all sorts of conferences going on here. Good network connectivity, night life, great food, CN Tower, etc. And I can organize it.
I spent months hoping someone will volunteer to help organize this in a place that is centrally located.
I finally give up, and announce, and now we have 3 others offers to help!?!?!?!? There is clearly only one appropriate response to this situation:
I've decided I'm going to write a DIB engine, here in St. Paul. This is your last chance to stop me...<grin>
Anyone else care to volunteer? Why don't we make a deadline for offering to host by Sunday night. I'll get a list of all the folks that are dead serious about being willing to do all the work of being a host, and then we'll put up a quick + dirty survey/voting form, and we'll go to the city that will get the best attendance.
How does that sound?
If this works, then everyone that is dead serious about being willing to host Wineconf needs to send me an email.
I agree with Sachar that we need to resolve this quickly; I think January is a good time for Wineconf, and 3 months is not that much lead time.
Cheers,
Jeremy
