<p>Romorantin, a medium size rural french town where leonardo da
vinci did many things, near beautifull french castles visited each
year by millions of international people, easily reachable by
plane, train, cars, with many accomodation possibilities and where
a recent nice event center has been build reshaping an old but
famous automotive factory (the factory which manufactured for
long, the "espace" renaut brand car - ie the Lagardere factory),
is for sure, without any possible contest, the best place to
organise one of the next international OSHWA summit.<br>
</p>
<p>;-), and seriously, if you find it sexy, I could organize this
for 2019, and I will be sure to get some public and private funds
to support the event (I could also mix this with a sort of "maker
event", in order to generate a larger movement around it).</p>
<p>What do you think ?</p>

Hey Drew!
It's not an answer, but an explanation of what's taking so long. We're trying to figure out the next 3 years of locations and wether we can pull off an international location. Hopefully we'll have some answers in the next few weeks.

I was thinking about this for another group I work with — could we learn anything from a non-binding, not-anonymous opinion poll? Personally, I’d love an excuse to visit Tokyo or London, but maybe there are some cheaper/smaller cities to get to for a majority of our members. I can’t speak for other countries, but in the US there are a lot of centrally-located towns and cities where events are cheaper to produce (shameless plug for my new home city of Pittsburgh, PA). I’m thinking of places like St. Louis, Asheville, Savannah, Cleveland, or Lafayette.
