​I don't recall if we have one - I think it would be good to have one
though.​

I think the plan was to have every second HF in Essen (developer only
event) and the alternate one at a larger venue where we can host a user
conference before the hacking sprint.

​Ideal conditions would be:

* easy access from the airport / public transport
* cheap / free accommodation very close
* sponsor to donate the venue and maybe some food & snacks etc
* a couple of volunteers willing to run around and keep the geeks fed
* good internet for streaming talks etc
* a few rooms including one large lecture theatre

I asked Lene (in CC) to keep notes on all the todo items she had to keep
track of while convening the upcoming user meeting - hopefully that will
give you more input.

So I guess I should ask did you intend to host a user conf + hackfest, or
just the hackfest?
