Already at the dinner-event before the actual meeting we hardly could speak about anything else than: where are we going to meet this year? Where is the next location? And today from the first moments of the pre-meeting some of us wanted to jump straight to a decision.

We were with 14 people today. Reaching a consensus about a destination seemed to be almost as difficult as back in Odesa where we sat down to make a decision with twice or even three times as many people.

We kind of agreed that the sooner we can make a decision for a destination, the better. If we have that sorted, we can work on the foundation of the event like flyers, location-stuff, outreach, etc.

Also, we did reach a conclusion how we want to reach a decision :) At one given moment tomorrow we will close the poll and go for the number one top-destination. If among ourselves we cannot reach a consensus about that destination, we will find another way for reaching the decision.

We also brainstormed a lot. We spoke about funding options, promotions, outreach, our goals and criteria. For tomorrow we will discuss the funding option again, as well as the destination, promotion, website and work that can be done.
