I was speaking to Atila earlier about the things we like about DConf. Sitting around talking to a bunch of computer scientists is fantastic, and not something people generally get to do in their chosen careers as a programmer.

EU nations are quite close together. Rather than a city meet up monthly, what about a continental meet up quarterly?

This is quite feasible in Europe, since everything is quite close together. I'm keen. Atila is keen. Anyone else think this is a great idea?

Yes, it's a great idea. You can count on me.

Dang, I wish I could participate in that!

Well, technically you could, but it involves a set of rather grueling flights.

Depending on the day it's held I might be able to attend once a year. If it's on the weekend, I can make a long weekend out of it.

It's a long haul for me, but I'd also be willing to hop over once a year beyond DConf. Good excuse for a vacation.

+1 - maybe its worth considering to make it for two days (=one weekend), s.t. the flight is not longer than the meetup?

That can work. It would be two or three days vacation depending on flight schedules. It is certainly workable. And it would be a lot of fun to get together to discuss D and hack on projects. Not to mention a cool way to see new cities if it moves around. :)

Yes, that was the intention on both counts. There's no point to flying somewhere just for the day. Especially since there will doubtless be Micro BeerConfs in the evening ;-)

Andrei suggested that Bucharest be the first city we hold this in. Sounds like a great plan to me.
