Over a month later, there are still only four (!) responses to the Doodle survey: Pirmin, Richard, Nikolaus and Scott.

Also, there are only five (!) responses to the preferences survey: Pirmin, Richard, Nikolaus, Riccardo and Gerold. 

Everyone else that's interested, please pick your preferred times on Doodle:

There's only three entries so far. Based just on them, the tool suggests -- September and October! :-) 

Please, everyone who's interested in attending, fill out the form with (at the very least) estimates of when you can attend.

In other news, I have a go-ahead regarding the use of a meeting room in Google's Dublin offices for our needs. This also means having a nice video-conferencing unit for meetings over Hangouts. Projecting to the screen is easiest over Hangouts, too, so attendees may want to have a Google account and Chrome (throwing it away/uninstalling it later, as desired). There are/should be some adapters available for projecting, but I've never tried them out myself.

I'll continue planning as if we meet in Dublin. If you have a particularly strong objection, please let me know.

It was in the form, but the bigger problem is how would one phrase such a question?

Well, the question was quite generic...

What about www.doodle.com and just giving all potential dates for the next 6 months?

What a wonderful tool! Yes, the question becomes much simpler with that tool.

I've picked weekends, and we may expand onto the preceding Friday or following Monday. (Now if only there was a nicer multiselect, that would have been even better.)

Whoever is interested in meeting, please pick the dates you're fine with. I'm currently fine with any weekend, but I may become aware of some commitments later on.

If people feel that their dates differ greatly based on location, we can start more polls. Votes are, of course, not binding.

But it might be limited by the location. Locations large enough to host such an event usually have some time slots they can offer.

If my employer agrees, worry about weekend timeslots probably won't be necessary...
