Well I personally would love to attend the actual summit, and I think Canada is a awesome idea, I would be in.

I'll add my vote to Canada... not just because I live here, but because it's a lot easier to travel here and organize events/etc for people from a global audience than it is in the US... plus all the people in the US can still make it without putting a lot of effort/travel costs in. Anyone know if there's an international airport in Kitchener/Waterloo, I hear that place is a huge centre for mobile development and technologies ;o)
Waterloo is much smaller than Toronto, but you should be able to find reasonable facilites to host a conference and keep people entertained.

And since you're planning to run for community council, you'd better be there. After all, you'll (most likely) be representing the community by that point!

I live in Toronto.... with SARS, swine flu, and now an endless garbage strike on, I would take it off the list as a possible host city. We want to increase the member community, not kill them off. I vote Quebec City .. we can all shack up with zerojay
Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary/Banff, Vancouver (maybe not an option due to Olympics), and Halifax would be the options I would look at.
The Toronto garbage collectors strike will be over by 2010, I'm sure. They don't want to picket in the winter. (Maybe Windsors won't be over. <smile>)

Consider it as: would you apply for a device programme?

Thanks for that Jaffa. I'll look into applying for sponsorship.
