I also tend to side towards b) - Mainly due to: > Pros: - we can get a commitment on this option now; they have tentatively > blocked out 300 beds for us, with it being easy to add more The least uncertainty, the better > - coincides with European vacations Well, this is mostly a NOOP - Vacations are good for some, bad for some. Of course, it would be even better a week or two earlier, as it would fully coincide with _my_ vacations, but who am I to spoil the fun for all? :-) > - one of the lodgings has air conditioning, though others don't Is it really _that_ bad? I mean, I know we would have hated it in Cáceres if we didn't have A/C all over, but I don't expect NY to be as extreme as Extremadura. > - more time for planning/prep/sponsorship/talk review We still have plenty of time... I do not rank this _very_ high. > Cons: - The weather may be a bit hotter and more humid How discrete are your bits? If it is 2°C higher avg. as I understood, no big deal > - lodging spread out over two/three buildings, but all of them are much > much closer than MT and FdS were at dc9 (2-4 minute walk between them) Lodging will be anyway not in the same venue as hacklabs/auditorium, so centrality will be affected anyway. I do not think this will be _that_ bad. > - it's more relevant that some lodging lacks air conditioning, though > fans plus open windows will likely be an effective substitute > (…) I hope this not to be too much of a killer issue.
