[pp.int.general] The conference - what went wrong; how can we do better?

[Thomas Burke]

Its impossible to suit everyone perfectly with our timezones spread
out as they are. Any event will be easier for some to participate in
than others so really at any event wherever its held as long as it
suits the majority then thats what should be done. Its not meant to
exclude people but to include as many as possible.
