I think he was really referring to airfare. SFO is a major US airport with decent direct route coverage to major sections of Europe. I think getting to Seattle often requires landing at JFK or Dulles or SFO and then connecting with a US domestic flight. That adds significant travel time and cost to any trip. > And April 21-25 is closer to the anniversary date.

I don't think we have outgrown Google's facilities, but I could be wrong. We can usually accommodate about 150 people for an event if we plan ahead for it. We just can't surprise the catering folks with a large same day food order. :) But yes, I have been busy with $DAY_JOB and that has cut back on my time for community event planning. I hadn't realized Git is turning 10 next year. Just been too busy using Git to pay attention to its upcoming anniversary. Let me talk to some folks at Google and see if we can organize something here in Mountain View, or help the LinuxFoundation sponsor something.
