In the past we have discussed at some length the location for the next event. By publishing this list as a fait accompli the implication is that the locations are baselined.
I am of two minds. I am glad that someone is actively pursuing hosting an event and I believe that we need to have a discussion and make some kind of group decision.
And as I said in another thread, you will not get people from the western half of the country to show up in the east two years in a row. For example, we have had up to 24 people from Colorado attend past events but have 1 going to NY this year because of the distance and cost.
Basically if we follow down this path, we are saying that from now on each region of the country is free to hold its own regional event if they desire and that is not a bad thing.
