I agree that the sooner a space and date can be decided the better. 
While Sudbury would probably be nice, it would be a tough sell because 
of the distance from me (9.5 hrs). The others are all doable. Any ideas 
on how we should decide? Some sort of ranked list? I personally would 
enjoy going back to Montreal and I'd like to visit Ottawa, but Kingston 
is the closest.

As far as dates, I'd personally like it to be on a Monday or Friday, 
this way I would only have to take one (or 1.5) days off from work, and, 
I can take the weekend to explore. (BTW: I'd like Monday better than 
Friday, but either would be better than a Tuesday or Wednesday (Thursday 
being my third choice). I guess I could do a weekend as well, but I 
would think most people would rather it be during the week,
