The dates sounds good to me. I agree that the bay area has an advantage
because of its large tech community. On the other hand, it is a question
of how we run the event. For Berlin we managed to get about 200
attendees to Berlin, but for the BeamSummit in Las Vegas with ApacheCon
the attendance was much lower.
Should this also be discussed on the user mailing list?
Cheers,
Max

For date wise, I'm wondering why we should switching the Europe and NA
one, this would mean that the Berlin and the new EU summit would be
almost 1.5 years apart.

I prefer bay are for NA summit. My reasoning is that there is a
criticall mass of contributors and users in that location, probably
more than alternative NA locations. I was not involved with planning
recently and I do not know if there were people who could attend due
to location previously. If that is the case, I agree with Elliotte
on looking for other options.
Related to dates: March (Asia) and mid-May (NA) dates are a bit
close. Mid-June for NA might be better to spread events. Other
pieces looks good.

The U.S. sadly is not a reliable destination for international
conferences these days. Almost every conference I go to, big and
small, has at least one speaker, sometimes more, who can't get into
the country. Canada seems worth considering. Vancouver,
Montreal, and
Toronto are all convenient.
