Well, if there's a general feeling that we should go for '08, that's fine with me too.
I'd personally prefer '09 - already have vacation planned for '08, and not sure if I'll be able to justify two extravagent trips.
Re the current trend of this conversation: I can of course see the practical benefits of organising our shindig around an existing, established event. I have to say, though, that my original thought was for ArchCon to stand on its own. Whether that's practical or not is open to discussion, of course.
I thought stand-alone too, but that involves a ton of planning if we wanna do some kind of 'real' convention. If it's just a bunch of dev's in someone's mother's basement, then it'd be easier to do, heh. I don't mind organizing this around another con, or whatever - but I'd greatly prefer 2009. Any day/time combo is good for me in '09, and pretty well nothing will be good in '08.
