I guess we'd have to post a proposal on the Wiki, though there are
several "Within Europe"-only attendees on the Wiki page [1], and
there's still a lot of anti-HSA sentiment going around for people
who aren't in the US already. Has the Lua workshop EVER been hosted
in the US? We don't seem to be very popular worldwide.
On the other hand, there are a lot of technology-focused people
here; personally I don't know that I can justify a European flight
to get to a Lua Workshop. Maybe if others who felt that way added
their names to the list as potential attendees with "North America
Only" as a restriction, it would become more clear what areas would
benefit the most people.
Regardless, while it's awesome here in Boulder, the points about
hotel expense are still valid: It's hard to get below about
$75/night in a hotel, though there's a hostel that goes down to
$45/night [2]. And there are a lot of vacation rental options; if
people wanted to double up, we could get a few like this one: [3] --
about $66/night/bedroom. There are other areas where you can get a
hotel room to yourself for less than $50/night, though, so it
depends on what people want.
