BA-Meetup location
In principle nothing against Mallorca. However September is not a good time for this event. February/March is really best. Looking at the calendar, one also has to keep the scheduling of other events in mind. For the initial BA-Meetup Istanbul, Lissabon, Barcelona, and Paris were considered. Eventually Lyon was chosen. Sure, the climate in Mallorca would be more appealing in winter, but at the end this is a serious meeting where people gather to get something done. So, it is February 24-26, 2010 in Lyon. It is an advantage to have the venue Eurexpo and Business Airport Lyon-Bron right next to each other just in case at some time a static display or practical demonstration may become part of the event. For attendees who would like to have some vacation days before or after the event we aim to arrange for a ski-weekend in one of the Alpine resorts in France or Switzerland if there is enough interest.
