I have stayed out of this discussion because I don't have much time to
send on GNUstep at the moment and I rather spend that on fixing bugs.

I really would love to come to a GNUstep anniversary meeting, but wont
be able to promise anything in advance. I think the first criteria for
this meeting should be what we want to achieve with it and where this
could be done best. We will need at least some room to meet in and it
should be easily accessible.
I am not totally sure but I think I have been to a Linuxweek in Vienna
before, if that is the conference that takes place in the town hall, and
that was rather disappointing. Even the old Linuxtag, when it still took
place in Karlsruhe, ages ago, was more interesting. And none of the
Vienna based GNUstep developers even attended that conference. another
cometogether in Cambridge would be the the best option for me, but David
seems have to lost interest in GNUstep :-(
Apart from that having our own rooms in Dublin if Ivan can arrange for
that, seems best. Just like Riccardo I have the fondest memory of the
meeting in Les Marecottes, but this is no longer an option.
