Something else to consider is the date. Quite a few of us work in academia, and the fall term has recently been advanced, at least at many European universities, to just about when the ConTeXt meetings are being held. Of course you can't please everybody -- just a suggestion. Cheers, Jörg On 10/26/10 11:46 AM, Alan BRASLAU wrote:

In organizing an international meeting, it is always a delicate balance in choosing a site that is reasonably accessible, reasonably affordable, reasonably attractive and available at a reasonable date. A meeting also needs to be organized which implies quite a lot of (volonteer) work from a small group of people. This means that the locale also depends on the availablity of such volonteers.
It is also sane that the meeting be held in different regions, and, unfortunately, not all meetings will be practical (or possible) for everyone. We need to work together to find ways to make the meetings work for a maximum number of participants in the best way possible.
