Yes, you made abundantly clear last year that you hate the area. So I admit I 
expected such a response. :-)

Now to me it's not necessarily a problem that you offered your offices and 
that we have this place in Toulouse.

If there are two easily available venues, that gives a chance of having two 
sprints in the year again. With the increased activity it'd only make sense.

You probably don't want both of them too close to each other though, that's 
it. So if I were you I'd start with the organization in a couple of months 
aiming for late Autumn/early Winter. I mean... I started organizing this in 
January and it'll apparently be in June.

Well, in practice it's more like one full day and two half-days if you plan 
your travel accordingly... even more if like Volker you use the opportunity to 
test Itinerary and collect data on the way. :-)

As for "attending remotely" we can probably do something about it yes. It's 
not the dark ages in Toulouse we have some connectivity at the venue. It'll 
probably make it even more important for you to communicate in advance the 
conversations you really want to be involved in though. In my experience this 
requires a bit more planning ahead.

Cheers.
