For me London is totally out of the question. It is not a matter of distance or money it is a matter of principle, being a Northerner. As far as organic muck is concerned you can shove that stuff where a monkey shoves his nuts
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.
