[OSM-talk] SotM11 will be held in Denver.

I'm within the group of people that have been saying 'hmm, really not sure
that I will be able to make it to SotM outside of Europe' for the last few
months. We made comments like this while the bidding process was on going,
and I'm sure the OSMF team were aware that it was a big concern.
My personal situation for the next year means I will have to deeply consider
and see if I can afford (time and money) if I can go.

I note the move to September, making use of the time Denver is most
beautiful (so I'm told). Wasn't there a comment that this would affect the
OSMF AGM? Will it still be held at SotM, or is that too late?

I don't read the OSM mailing lists often, but I actually came here with a
reason having heard the location announcement. As many people saw there was
a high chance a winning bid being beyond Europe, it was suggested a local
(UK?) SotM conference be held if that happens. I will bring this up on the
GB-talk list and see what everyone thinks. The idea being that people might
decide to come to that if they can't make it to Denver, or both.

I was really up for Africa. But I could see that bid didn't look very strong
this year, and I'm not sure how practical it would have been for me. Another
year?...
