[LGM-org] extending call for locations

[Femke Snelting]

Hey,

It was a great LGM! But ... we did not have a formal proposal for hosting LGM in 2018 yet :-)

Through Susan we have a possible contact in Milan (I'm following up on that), could be interesting; hopefully something will be happening on the Brno idea as well (this was Lasse Fister proposing, right?).

However we need to extend the deadline for the call for locations and spread it widely; also I would like to add a line on visa-policies and shift the order of 'things to consider' a bit. Would June 1 be too late? I'll get on that after the weekend.
