Being away from my home over May Day is a huge compromise for me, so
I have not done it in years past.  I've gotten to the point where
I'm *willing* to do so, but if I had anything like a choice, I'd
pick any other weekend.  If I have a real for actual choice of
weekends, I'll send you my ordered choices.

My preference would be to meet specifically for Lojban, I'm not
interested in a SF/other convention going on, save as a means for
getting people into the Lojban room.

As to format, I would love to see an unconference/open space/agile
format.  It is something I understand and am engaged by, but I
caveat that I have a specific stack of things I'm interested in
talking about, and that format would allow me a platform for doing
so.

Reviewing the memory of my notes (alas, they aren't in front of me)
conference planning suggest we'd need at least two rooms, a break room
with food/water and misc discussion/checking out and a topic room for
focused and engaged conversation constrained by a timebox.

I don't have a sense for the minimum number of people needed to make
something like this effective, but my sense is that as we approach
or cross that lower bound having an SF convention around us would
allow a release for the kind of drain a small participant count would
incur.  Which means, Lojbanistan, that I need you to come to jbonunsla
and save me from that fate!
