World: r3wp

Well, if we can actually get enough interest in Maui, then I will 
get real about when is the best time.  Prob, plan it for when prices 
are cheapest for everyone.

If, I will add a holiday. Hence it really requires a long pre-planning 
phase.

In Germany, do you have a tax advantage (a write off) for travel 
expenses for such things as confrences?

I just looked at flight prices and it is like 1000 Euro just to get 
there :-(

whole Paris devcon would cost me half that price, if I would go ...

Yes, not cheap to do it in Maui.......................but still worth 
considering.  Paris is fun.................Maui is.............Amazing...........

Tax: Not if I stay two weeks ;-) But anyway... my tax accounting 
consultant should know a good trick. And how long is the flight? 
From Frankfurt to San Francisco it's 11h. And than another 6h?

Got my vote for Maui, off-peak airfare would be nice but is not essential. 
Yes as a tax write-off.

My vote is Sydney or Brisbane (Sydney easiest for air connections) 
due to the diversity of things to do there during the conference. 
 And maybe next year my project load won't be so heavy and rushed.

(Australia)

London would also be cool

my 2 cents worth

Maui hot, London cool ;-)

good comeback for a foreigner...;-)

Thanks :-)

Have to practise: I should be in London next year

Well, England anyway

Copenhagen! Anyone? :-)

It's a joy to see how great these Devcons are getting.  Such a great 
community in REBOL.  We could call these the REBOL world domination 
tours.

Copenhagen!  very awesome...I would love that.

We all need an injection of new technology every once in a while, 
so we don't otherwise go into withdrawal.

I just heard that Copenhagen was named the most boring city of Sweden 
:-)

Hmm, how about Arran?  Do you really want to trust a DevCon to the 
English? :P

I thought it was in Denmark....;-

LOL

My Danish friend told me so

I thought Americans were bad with geography.

It was elected as such in Sweden, on historical grounds :-)

Geography is like a fractal. Even if Americans would make an effort 
to know about it, there would be no hope zooming in

Arran, also a choice spot (seriously).  How could I have left it 
out?  (And while we're at it, let's give Ireland back to the Irish!)

I can't wait until I have time to watch every single Devcon video 
and absorb what all was presented.  Italy was fantastic last year. 
 One dose lasts me for a whole year.

Robert, fly to LA, stay at my LA place...enjoy LA, then fly to Maui 
(5 hours).  I tend to fly out in the morning, and arrive by noon 
in Maui.

Of note, I don't push hard for Maui because I live here, I push because 
I have traveled around the world, and I think YOU GUYS would have 
the most fun, do the most "different things" and collectively have 
a more rich experience.


Since Maui is a place of the sun…we would play in the day partially, 
and do the DevCon in the afternoon and evenings.  Everything would 
be done differently…it would be very cool.


Swim with turtles and dolphins and perhaps whales in the morning, 
learn about comparative languages and new programming tricks in the 
afternoon.  Eat the freshest fish you will every have for dinner, 
then enjoy a lecture outside in the warm air with the sky completely 
filled with stars you did not know were even there!

No argument here. My mother was saved by dolphins in Hawaii last 
month

Saved by dolphins?

It sounds like we need to start a schedule for DevCons. :-)

She snorkled out too far into the ocean, and was brought back by 
two dolphins. Apparently a common occurrence there

That's pretty cool :-)

cool Dolphines :-)

if DevCon would be in Europe, I vote for Amsterodam - 1) Maarten 
could help with organisation 2) I listen to two Dutch bands 3) you 
can legally smoke marijuana there - that would be cool beginning 
of innovative ideas to devcon - to smoke Carl and talk about Rebol 
possibilities ;-)

I like the concept of the "World Domination Tour" (WDT).

Yep if its Amsterdam then www.rebol.nl is for use ;-)

But i prefer the holiday in Maui ;-)

Im realy proud actualy to see Rebol grow the way it has (sounds silly 
but it is), there are susch a load of people doing so many intesting 
things with Rebol its realy refreshing to see the time and science 
they put it their projects..fantastic...

Hi, back from DevCon. It was AMAZING!

Re: next DevCon location, there was a push from the so-called 'czech 
connection' for next DevCon to be in CZ, but Maui is really nice 
idea.

But I have to sell both my liver and kidney to get there, so I'll 
wait for some closer location in following years :)

You're not using Rebol correctly if you have sell a liver... : )

One kidney and a piece of liver at most  :)

How about Montreal, It would be "half way" for all those in the northern 
hemisphere...
