And again sorry for being late to said game; I was busy elsewhere. However, it seems that the idea for such a HA Summit in Brno/Feb 2015 hasn't exactly fallen on fertile grounds, even with the suggested user/client day. (Or if there was a lot of feedback, it wasn't public.) I wonder why that is, and if/how we can make this more attractive? Frankly, as might have been obvious ;-), for me the venue is an issue. It's not easy to reach, and I'm theoretically fairly close in Germany already. I wonder if we could increase participation with a virtual meeting (on either those dates or another), similar to what the Ceph Developer Summit does? Those appear really productive and make it possible for a wide range of interested parties from all over the world to attend, regardless of travel times, or even just attend select sessions (that would otherwise make it hard to justify travel expenses time off). Alternatively, would a relocation to a more connected venue help, such as Vienna xor Prague? I'd love to get some more feedback from the community. As Fabio put it, yes, I *can* suck it up and go to Brno if that's where everyone goes to play ;-), but I'd also prefer to have a broader participation.
