I would think that yes it is a good idea if local team starts to gather and prepare a proposal for 2012. It is also an excellent idea if they invest some time on helping with 2011 (like finding sponsor) so they get experience for when the time comes for them to organise the event. But I do not think that the actual location should be choosen before LGM2011 (or not too much before is the date is set for August 2011...), so that the energy of the community is focused on LGM2011. -- Cyrille Berger ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

No need to augment the facts in there -- while I also favor starting the discussion for 2012 as soon as possible, the person who raised the subject (Tor) about human rights in Vietnan made it quite clear that one thing is being aware and concerned, the other is avoiding the place for LGM. So far, I think I only had seen one e-mail clearly expressing an opinion against holding it in Vietnan for political reasons, while all the others, while increasingly aware of the issue seen to agree that events like the LGM do far more good than harm in places under this kind of political restrictions. js -><- ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
[CREATE] LGM 2012
This may seem a disoriented subject, but what I would like to bring up is that, especially in view of what we see going on currently as the LGM 2011 site is being vetted, I think that LGM has matured enough that future meetings need to become something more than an ad hoc process. I routinely find it bothersome and annoying whenever I have some meeting in which some major decision needs to be made, yet am given no preliminary information about the decision, perhaps some preliminary ideas that someone might have, and so on. One frequently has the suspicion that there have been secret meetings or discussions, in which decisions have more or less already been made, and then the meeting becomes an effort to try to get some rubberstamp approval without much discussion. Worse is when there really is no sense of what decision is to be made, yet there is pressure to come to some decision rapidly. It's clear to me that the idea the we can come together at one LGM with a more or less blank slate for where the next LGM will be and believe that some good ideas will come about, and that some consensus or agreement might come about at the LGM meeting is at best wishful thinking. I would propose that while we are grinding away at the discussion for 2011 that either now or very soon discussion begin about the LGM 2012 location. Many things can happen in 2 years, of course, but realistically, many things can happen in a year or less, so if nothing else, the proposed site for 2 years from now can stand as a backup for one year from now should some initial planning fall through. The other advantage is that when LGM 2011 rolls around, the discussion at the end becomes a more practical, detail-oriented discussion about 2012, and the nebulous proposals begin about 2013. Finally, I can imagine that having an extra year of planning for some locations might also be a good idea.
