Well, we didn't get a huge set of results (only 18 answers), so I'm not sure how statistically interesting this is; answers continue to trickle in, but I thought I'd report on what we have so far.
But several things emerged as conclusive to me.
First, out of the 18 responses, 8 voted for Sat/Sun, 4 for Fri/Sat, 3 for Weekdays (3 didn't pick). That seems like Sat/Sun then is our best choice.
Second, again out of that sample, we had 8 for the UK, 5 for DE, 3 for MN, 1 for Northern California, and 1 for any old where.
That implies Europe pretty strongly to me, and also suggests a pretty solid nod to the UK.
As for the dates, there wan't any real consensus. The only thing that emerged was that September 16th was the only date that *everyone* could make.
That suggests to me that we should nail down September 16th *now* before that changes.
Rob, are you still game for organizing this near Reading?
Other thoughts/comments are welcome.
Cheers,
