Sorry if I wasn't clear.  January 2003, about 6 months away from now.

There's always EuroPython.

Taking a few hundred dollars off of the conference fees will no
doubt help people who thought IPC10 was outrageously expensive.
Locating the event near the subway will make it more reasonable to
book cheaper hotels that are further away.  Airfare is generally
less expensive in low season (fall and winter).

Given that some people on this list didn't think that $250 wasn't
entirely out of line for a small, community-organized Python event,
I gather that dormitories are less important for this group, as long
as there are some budget options for hotels.
