That sounds fantastic. That's a years worth of talks. We're gonna have
to have fights to decide who presents!

I know what you mean.

I was considering london because most people consider it a hub, But
actually I'd rather not leave my kitchen.

I guess we could ask various lug's if we could do BOFs.


Considering that this sort of event could be considered very cheap
training do you think that meeting during the day would be a good
idea? It might make it easier for people to assemble in somewhere
other than london. A meetup in the afternoon, into the early evening
would mean that people could get home despite quite a long trip.
