There was a similar discussion a few months ago. Hans, Patrick, and I all
tried to convey the central point that hosting this event is a BIG and
UNIQUE situation. For starters, anyone looking to host one should:
- attend a couple of established VCFs so you know how it should be
- have some experience organizing smaller events so you're not overwhelmed
- be able to secure a venue that's large enough and cheap enough
- know how to deal with the marketing, business side, getting
exhibitors/speakers
- be able to get along with Sellam :)

And my first
thought was you meant "VCF Great White North" ;)

Could Ethan be persuaded to host one?
