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
That would be the biggest problem.
Outdoors would probably not have warm enough weather.
- know how to deal with the marketing, business side,
getting
exhibitors/speakers

might be difficult to get many more, and the public attendance might be
low, particularly due to transportation costs.
- be able to get along with Sellam :)
