Unless someone is going to jump in and organise an alternative meeting to replace it?
We've talked about this on #msxdev @ Rizon IRC a few days ago already, since we already had the feeling something was not right.
Currently, Abi van Tamelen is looking into the possibility of reviving the Harderwijk fair and TNI will look into the possibility of organising another Bussum or a new fair near Utrecht (an option that has been expressed since the first real problems with Tilburg 2 years ago).
I heard that Rudi also had ideas for a fair in Almelo. So I'd say: ideas enough! :). About another Bussum - one is enough for me, so rather not ;p. Of course when there's a TNI fair near Utrecht I'll help out! But you know that already ;p.
About booking, it of course depends on the location, and so few months in advance it is more difficult to find a free saturday, but at least for the Bussum location it would still be possible to book. Also, if it can't be helped there is of course the possibility to not have the Tilburg fair in April, but in, say, May (not 7th please ;p) or even early June.
Anyways, 'tis sad that the Tilburg fairs have now officially ended, but I'm confident that a new fair will be organised instead of Tilburg (though perhaps not this year) :). If anyone has plans on doing so, please discuss it publicly, so you will be able to coordinate with others having similar plans and we don't end up with 3 or 4 different fairs ;p. And if there are questions about the what and how of organising a fair, or needs advise, feel free to ask me :).
