Hey everyone,
We started discussing an Arch Linux Canada conference and decided we'd host a general Arch Linux Conference. Yah, it's been discussed before, but never has it been done. Our theory is it'll go better than we expected and we'll do it again someplace else, or it'll totally bomb and we won't try again. ;-)
During FrOSCon we were discussing ArchCon in Europe, with possible places somewhere in Germany (because it's easy for most European devs to get there), or Ukraine (because food/drinks and settlement is cheap for all europeans here :-P). So if both of us succeed in organising this there will be a naming clash.
define "clash"? i don't think that there's something wrong with having an ArchCon in canada and one in europe at least a month apart or so.
other then that, if there are 2 events, this will decrease the upcome of devs for both events...
Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that 2 events in 2 different places having the same name might be confusing (e.g. when referring to them in news or forums etc.). Maybe call 'em ArchCon Canada/Europe, or call the second one 2010.2. :-)
ArchCanCon
I was considering ArchCan, but I want to make sure people think it's world wide. I like Python's "Pycon" vs "EuroPython," but "EuroArch" doesn't have the same ring. IF two conferences are organized, putting them six months apart would be ideal, I'd like to attend both,
I also want to attend AUrchcon if James and Allan organize such. :D Dusty
