>> Hello all.
>>
>> The idea to make decisions in advance is the path to take, however, we
>> didn't start with it till this year, so I guess that knowing that a lot of
>> people already had a pretty strong idea of where LGM 2015 will be, during
>> LGM2014 we could easily choose the location for 2016. However, this is not
>> the case of 2014 since the guidelines and further documentation is just
>> starting to be written and organized.

> Hi Maria,
>
> The guidelines were written during the weeks that followed LGM 2010 in
> Brussels.
>
> They helped us make the decision for 2011 and they helped us again for
> 2012.
>
> Before the end of 2012, we had 2 proposals for 2013, one for Montreal and
> one for Madrid. We unanimously decided to go to Madrid because there was an
> extraordinary occasion that we didn’t want to miss and we had the head
> organiser from Brussels behind it, Femke, who knew deeply LGM for years. We
> had a short meeting together in Vienna to discuss this opportunity and we
> rapidly came to the same conclusion and were ready to make a proposal to
> the participants. We proposed to postpone Montreal (and the altermance
> between Europe and North America) for one year, for that excellent reason
> and everyone was quite happy with the decision!
>
> A few days before LGM 2013 started I replied on the mailing list to the
> question where we’d go in 2014. To me that was only a confirmation of what
> I knew already.
>
> Why we are still in the process of choosing the venue for 2014 is beyond
> me!
>
> We should be in the 2015 process. And this is exactly why I suggested
> Berlin (but I am perfectly ok with Leipzig as well, or any other venue we’d
> like to discuss) for the 10th LGM. I thought it would be great to be in the
> GIMP home since LGM has started as an extension to the GIMP yearly meeting
> in Lyon in 2006. It was only a suggestion and we have plenty of time to
> make a decision.
>
> Ten years of LGM is something we’d like to celebrate!!!
>
> Now, things could (or should) have been *more* clear. But it doesn’t mean
> they were not clear!
>
>  This will be different in subsequent years! From our last meeting, I took
> charge of the process and we’ll know months before where we go in 2015 and
> we’ll make the "drum roll" announcement on the last day of LGM 2014 !!! I
> promise that, however I hope someone else could carry the snare drum! :-)
> And yes, we’ll start the process for 2016 in a timely manner too.

> Welcome to the new comers!

>>>
>> Indeed, from all the cities mentioned at LGM13 those were the most liked;
>> so I guess next venue will definitely be at one of those cities.

>> see ya.
