+1 If we were swimming in money, you might be able to make the case that Singapore would be good to expose our community to Asia/India etc., but we really are not in that situation. At a rough guess we are looking at a travel budget of 4x our costs for Poland. In the alternative would Montreal be acceptable given we think the Uni would welcome us back ? A second thought would be to have it again in France, but not in Lyon, in Western France which would be 2.5hrs direct from Paris via the TGV. Thoughts ? Cheers, Peter P.S. I am not dissing Singapore nor Andy. I am sure if we did it there it would be a fantastic meet. _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
