[EuroPython] EPC 2005 and 2006

[tom]

Hi,

CERN would be nice indeed, but I wouldn't -right now- decide to move to CERN
next year. At the last keynote, people have voted to have the conference
again one year in Göteborg.

I think it was a very nice idea of Anna(?), to let future organisers set up
a boot at the conference to make people warm about their places. In the past
we didn't had much volunteers to organise EuroPython, now it seems more
people are interested in organising a congress (I spoke several people
interested in organising EP). And it is nice to have an idea what the future
organisers have to offer.

Some ideas I have:

1. It is allowed to have EP organised two successive years. But then it
should move to another country (if other people are interested...). I think
we all still agree on this point (ie that the intention is to let the
conference move). But I also agree on the fact to let the conference stay
for 2 years at the same place (if the people are still willing to organise
:-))
2. It might be good (if possible) that when the conference moves, it moves
to a cheaper or expensiver country. This way the less fortunate people can
at least get to the conference in min every 2 years.

Regards,
Tom.
