Re: meeting in other places (some flattery for london)

[Charlie Perkins <charles.perkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

I guess everyone's response about London would be different, but ...

• - It was a super-productive week for me
  
  
• - Transportation was excellent
  
  
• - Hotel staff was very very helpful
  
  
• - London was terrific in general
  
  
• - O.K., I even liked the little bit of snow.

I'd be fine with going back.  But I am also fine with other cities in Europe we have visited.  Except not going to hotels where the staff breaks into the rooms and steals things.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Right.

Not sure if Tegel itself is less reliable than any other airports,
its just going to operate on capacity limit.

Obviously, its not a tier 1 connected airport like you have in the other
capital cities in Europe, that role was already taken by 
Frankfurt (for Germany) and Munich (for Bavaria). An interesting
option for tourists might be to fly in via hamburg, visit it,
and take the 2.5 hour high speed train to Berlin. Full disclaimer:
i am from hamburg, so your mileage may vary ;-)

I do like the three mentioned locations in europe a lot, but of course,
it would be great to keep up the pressure on IAOC to continue exploring
more options ;-)

I???d second Berlin

We can all find things to love and hate for each location (and I'm
predicting a "Take this to the venue discuss list" soon), but my
biggest issue with Berlin was the unpredictability of Tegel Airport --
does anyone know what the status of the new airport(s) currently is?

there is no new airport. There are several buildings and concrete strips
that need to be demolished and build an airport on same place.
