For various reasons I never made it to GHM this year, but I hear that it was
a very successful event. Here is my suggestion for 2107:
In Europe there are various "Gruppenunterkunft" hostels - places which have
basic accommodation plus a seminar room for smallish conferences. Why don't
we hire such a place for the week-end? In 2016 attendees paid EUR 50 per day
to attend GHM. On top of that, most would have had to pay for accommodation.
If we get a good deal with the venue proprietor we can have people attend for
EUR 50 per day *including* accommodation.
I can see a number of other advantages to this plan too:
* With accommodation and meeting in the same place, people will not be
at the mercy of weather and public transport, when getting to and from.
* We can have informal sessions late into the night.
* Having everyone staying together, it'll be a better social experience.
Perhaps somebody has already started with other plans. But if not - then
what do you think?
