I dont want to be the party pooper but as a person who deal with many people everyday on different continents I would rather have a tinychat on that topic and buy everyone a good webcam/mic, save on fair and also expand this meeting to a series of meetings that we can keep a schedule on. Oh and also be recorded and archived for future references.
Is much cheaper to improve the virtual communication up to become good enough than to spend most of the budget on transportation and accommodations. Maybe face to face is more efficient, but also is more scarce, what I mean is that 1 meeting might make up for 10 meetings in the virtual world, but 10 meetings on the virtual world is much cheaper and easy for more people than 1 real life meeting. For example I am very interested in this topic since I am involved with developing products that will carry the OOo brand such as the OOo Certification at the same time I am involved wiht the Art project and WebDev project so is important for me to be a part of these meetings, but it will take me around 1500 euros just to attend a 2 hour meeting. It will take me probably 50 euros to attend a virtual meeting with style.
