I agree with Alan for very pratical reasons. Basically the meeting shall =

to some decisions. Going from Europe to the west coast takes at least 12-=

hours and the costs are doubled compared to meeting at the east coast. Th=

In contrast to the media I do think that most free software is actually=20

anyway.
