Subject: [xtm-wg] Europe vs. USA
At the first meeting, there were two persons from France and one from England. For information, it is either cheaper or equivalent in terms of price to fly from France to the US than to another country of Europe. I don't know what the situation is for other countries, but I suppose similar situations apply. Therefore, I do not consider than having a meeting in the US constitutes a disadvantage for someone who resides in Europe. In terms of time, it is usually a good idea, whenever possible, to organize meetings in a place where direct connections to major hubs are possible. Those of us who travel, usually travel a lot, and it's convenient to minimize the time spent in changing planes. For example, it was great to have an XML conference in Granada last year, but extremely difficult to get there. In San Jose, we have agreed to limit the face-to-face meetings at 4 per year, this is the reason why there has been no meeting planned before the one in Paris in June. Next one should be in Montreal in August, coupled with the "Extreme Markup Conference", and I suppose we're going to plan the next one coupled with XML 2000 in Washington. Washington and Montreal are both cities that are accessible from many hubs in Europe.
