Asking briefly at a travel agent, it's about $AUS 2000 for return air
fares from Australia to either LA or .nl. That's not including any bulk,
student, whatever discounts we might be able to scrounge together. That's
about $US 1300, I guess.
So assuming we can get free/very cheap accomodation, and find somewhere
where half the developers don't have to pay anything to get to, that looks
vaguely plausible.
I wonder if 100 people might be a more realistic size. Splitting it on
a continental basis might be interesting too, although doesn't seem like
it'd be as exotic and fun...
Cheers,
