Make conference in eastern europe :) ----- Исходное сообщение ----- > I'd just like to briefly report back on the inquiries Nancy and I have > been making into East coast venues for DjangoCon 2011.

Those (very few) venues whose costs are > low enough are already booked up. Those with space are *much* too > expensive. If we want to look at a New York DjangoCon US we should > probably plan at least two years ahead, and still expect it to be quite > a lot more expensive than Portland (even without factoring in the higher > cost of eating out and so on in New York). > > Chicago is also quite a lot more expensive than Portland for 2011, so we > have had to rule that out too. Again, a longer planning time frame > *might* help. > > We did receive responses from a couple of hotels close to Dulles airport > where the costs might be acceptable and they do have space for next > year. Sadly both facilities (and particularly the one whose costs are > closest to the Doubletree in Portland) are quite isolated (i.e. anything > else is a cab ride away).
