There have been several volunteers to participate in the conference organizing committee so perhaps we should start by discussing where the conference should be held.
Does anyone have any strong opinions or ideas? The 2024 committee considered the following factors when choosing the location: 1. Production cost (venue rental + services). 2024 was a reboot (Community over Code is not positioned) so we are starting with sponsors from scratch. 2025 is is a slightly better place since the 2024 conference made the European version of C/C visible to some sponsors and participants. 2. Easy to get to by either train or airport (giving priority to train, since we expect most attendees to come from EU and only a few from North America). 3. A city/area where it is easy to walk to nearby restaurants/bars so that attendees would run into each other after conference hours. 4. A nice city that people would be interested in visiting, and probably never been to. So if you have opinions and/or ideas please speak up. Thanks, Claude p.s. We are still looking for a 2025 organizing committee chair. Care to volunteer?
