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, Edward David Fiander wrote: > So far on the wiki the proposals for the location range from the > center of known space to "let's all visit Dan!": > > - Toronto > - Kingston > - Ottawa > - Sudbury > - Montreal > > Given some of the far-flung people who have expressed interest in the > meeting, including some people in Wisconsin (!), it would be > interesting to figure out the weighted average travel time required > for all of these locations, but I suspect that that would just mean we > end up in Toronto, again. > > I just added Montreal to the list, just because, hey, it's Montreal! > But then, we'd have to find somebody at McGill to act as our host. > > If we're going to be meeting in April/May, then it's probably time to > start the discussion about site selection so that when the decision is > made, the hosts will have time to make the arrangements and so that > people travelling have enough lead time to make cheap travel > arrangements. > > - David >
