Location preferences for the next charmer summit?

[Tom Barber]

Slightly off topic, but I figure its worth mentioning our experience in
Europe with the Pentaho community which built from about 4 of us. We have
quarterly-ish London usergroup meetings at the SkillsMatter exchange where
somewhere between 10 and 50 of us turn up, usually Pentaho ship a few
developers out and we have 3 - 5 20 minute presentations followed by a
networking session at the pub across the road. There are also other local
user groups in Spain, France and a few other places who have occasional
meetings.

Then once a year we have a European meetup in a different city each year
where more Pentaho developers and managers rock up and a most of the
community show up for a 2 day event, similar to what you guys did in
Belgium.

There are Puppet meetups, Chef meetups, Salt meetups in London and some
more generic "DevOps" ones, it would seem to me to make sense to see if we
can get traction for a Juju one if there is the interest, our initial
Pentaho meetups had about 5 people, so I know what its like when not many
people show up! ;) This way you keep a community continually interested
instead of it being a 6 or 12 month thing.
