I'm within the group of people that have been saying 'hmm, really not sure that I will be able to make it to SotM outside of Europe' for the last few months. We made comments like this while the bidding process was on going, and I'm sure the OSMF team were aware that it was a big concern. My personal situation for the next year means I will have to deeply consider and see if I can afford (time and money) if I can go.
I note the move to September, making use of the time Denver is most beautiful (so I'm told). Wasn't there a comment that this would affect the OSMF AGM? Will it still be held at SotM, or is that too late? I don't read the OSM mailing lists often, but I actually came here with a reason having heard the location announcement. As many people saw there was a high chance a winning bid being beyond Europe, it was suggested a local (UK?) SotM conference be held if that happens. I will bring this up on the GB-talk list and see what everyone thinks. The idea being that people might decide to come to that if they can't make it to Denver, or both.

But I could see that bid didn't look very strong this year, and I'm not sure how practical it would have been for me.
