Yes, you made abundantly clear last year that you hate the area. So I admit=

expected such a response. :-)

Now to me it's not necessarily a problem that you offered your offices and=
=20
that we have this place in Toulouse.

If there are two easily available venues, that gives a chance of having two=
=20
sprints in the year again. With the increased activity it'd only make sense.

You probably don't want both of them too close to each other though, that's=
=20
it. So if I were you I'd start with the organization in a couple of months=
=20
aiming for late Autumn/early Winter. I mean... I started organizing this in=
=20
January and it'll apparently be in June.

Well, in practice it's more like one full day and two half-days if you plan=
=20
your travel accordingly... even more if like Volker you use the opportunity=
 to=20
test Itinerary and collect data on the way. :-)

As for "attending remotely" we can probably do something about it yes. It's=
=20
not the dark ages in Toulouse we have some connectivity at the venue. It'll=
=20
probably make it even more important for you to communicate in advance the=
=20
conversations you really want to be involved in though. In my experience th=
is=20
requires a bit more planning ahead.

Cheers.
