Jarmo, So far no one has volunteered to help host a conference in London, so I'm not sure that votes matter. Last year, the Selenium team offered to help us host a Watir Day in conjunction with their conference. That was great and we appreciated it and took advantage of the offer. They have not made a similar offer this year, so we need to decide what we are going to do.
Alister and I spoke over the weekend and are currently pursuing an Austin-based event that will focus less on Watir per se and more on how to build effective frameworks to support BDD and Specification by Example.
