I'm a Geordie by birth and Midlander by adoption. Why London? Because it
has the best rail connections, the biggest population to recruit from
and most importantly the Government is in London and if you want to get
influential people from the Government to attend.... The fundamental
question is Do we want FLOSS to succeed? If so we need to do the things
most likely to make it happen and not get side-tracked by individual
politics as you indicate with your monkey comment ;-)
Personally it would be nice to have it in Whitley Bay so I can stop with
my ageing dad and save costs by having it in his living room. Given the
number of people likely to attend that would probably be all we would
need ;-)
Come on, if money isn't a problem let's see you there and let's make
some impact on the DfES.
