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.
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?
