[PD-announce] PdCon18~

[Alexandros]

Hi all,

For those of you who attended the last PdCon(16) in New York, you might 
have heard of the rumor that the next one will take place in Athens, 
Greece, since I had the idea of organizing it with a friend and 
colleague, at the American College of Greece, where he teaches.

Unfortunately that's not going to happen because the College offered 
only a single room for a single day! And even though I had in mind that 
it would most likely be necessary to include other venues (for some live 
gigs etc.), having this little from a place that would potentially offer 
the main infrastructure of the convention makes the whole idea pretty 
much not realizable.

Not sure what people have to say, but to me, at this point it seems 
impossible to organize something (bearing in mind my schedule - which 
none of you know, but it's pretty busy) without getting the help of an 
institution. Also, I don't know any other institution that would 
potentially offer space and equipment for something like that. ACG was 
sort of my only hope.

Hopefully the next convention won't happen in ten years from now...

Cheers,

Alexandros
