EU nations are quite close together. Rather than a city meet up 
monthly, what about a continental meet up quarterly?

This is quite feasible in Europe, since everything is quite close 
together. I'm keen. Atila is keen. Anyone else think this is a 
great idea?

Well, technically you could, but it involves a set of rather grueling 
flights.

Depending on the day it's held I might be able to attend once a year. If 
it's on the weekend, I can make a long weekend out of it.

It's a long haul for me, but I'd also be willing to hop over once 
a year beyond DConf. Good excuse for a vacation.

+1 - maybe its worth considering to make it for two days (=one 
weekend), s.t. the flight is not longer than the meetup?

That can work. It would be two or three days vacation depending on 
flight schedules. It is certainly workable. And it would be a lot of fun 
to get together to discuss D and hack on projects. Not to mention a cool 
way to see new cities if it moves around. :)

Yes, that was the intention on both counts. There's no point to 
flying somewhere just for the day. Especially since there will 
doubtless be Micro BeerConfs in the evening ;-)

Andrei suggested that Bucharest be the first city we hold this 
in. Sounds like a great plan to me.
