I teach Mon/Wed so anything that involves those days would not work for me 
(Apr 6th is a Wed) until classes end in early May. In case this worked for 
other people though, does anybody know where more information on Camp KDE can 
be found? I am arguably the worst searcher in the world, but I have not been 
able to find anything on it so far.

I just updated the wiki page with the option of holding the sprint in Madison, 
WI (USA). I study/work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and after 
checking with administration I have been told that it would be possible to get 
a room and internet access for attendees. I would have to confirm once we know 
the dates and number of people. There are also several accommodation options 
to pursue in case we went with this. However, Madison is not on the East 
Coast, which as Stu suggested would probably make things easiest for those 
traveling from Europe. People would have to fly to Chicago, and then either 
take a three-hour bus drive north (the buses leave about every 1:30 hours from 
the airport itself) or another 55-minute flight.

In any case, I think that if this has to happen we need to start seriously 
working on it now, so I join Stu's call for ideas for venues and feedback.

At this point, we have 10 people who have added themselves to the list of 
potential attendees on the wiki. Of these, 3 are based in North America (4 
until March, when Aaron will move from Vancouver to Zurich) and 7 (6 until 
March) in Europe. 3 of those are based in Spain. Given that, it sounds like a 
meeting in Europe after March would probably imply the smallest cost in terms 
of transportation. Of course, that depends on having concrete options for 
venues there.
