I think this is a very sensible suggestion. Can we work out a budget and
an expected outcome for this? This way it may be more attractive for
potential sponsors. I know the plone tribe organizes regularly such
events, and they have no major problems getting sponsors.
Of course, Italy is a very hospitable place in all seasons, and we can
find additional cheap and good places for this.
All the best.
