[CREATE] LGM 2009

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

As for the city, I was looking for Singapore - but I am fine with 
Amsterdam. If India is an option, I think I'd prefer it over 
Amsterdan for the "non .eu" year. 

Of course, there is the problem of the costs and that is part of 
the "if ... is an option"  condition.

I thought it was more like one year in Europe, the alternate 
year "elsewhere". :-)

USA may be a bit painfull to get to for some people. Of course, one 
day it should be hosted there, but, for example, for me it would mean 
about U$150.00 extra cost for the Visa appliance only. (if we are 
talking just about the cash. There are more hasles)
