Pros and Cons of the proposed location

Pros

  • is very well located in the middle of Europe
  • BRNO Office is virtually around the corner
  • Budapest is very nice city
  • People who hate flying, have the opportunity to drive by car and make car-pooling
  • Great Venue and Lodging for a good price
  • Good Art of Living (good food, wine, music, weather ...)
  • First Fedora EMEA FAD Conference in Central Europe
  • support from other companies - (still need to check)
  • local production of swag is cheap
  • We have several companies RH related, who wants to attend (Ulx, Balabit)

Cons

  • Small team - still growing community
  • Language barrier at the location - not many locals speak english
  • Maybe the city is so nice that people get distracted
