My suggestion is to include on of the weekends in addition to the week:  
e.g Jan 13th-14th 2007 or Jan 6th-7th. 

Usually we decide dates by a kind of woting. People sign on to different 
dates (weekends or weeks). The week or weekends that get most 
developers is chosen. When going abroad the dates are mostly fixed by 
the organisers. Thats ok too. 

My suggestion is to introducing some flexibility with an additional 
weekend. An additional weekend will probably make it easier to 
participate (as explained earlier where people have trouble to get days 
off in the week). 

The question is basically, will there be extra participants that could
join the developer gatherings if it was included a weekend before or
after the second week in January (8-12th)? If this is an option, do
you prefer the 6-7th of January or the 13-14th?

By adding two extra fields in the table of participants, people can add 
a cross for whats most convenient. Give people a week to decide, and 
thats it. Everything is settled. 

I don't think that the dates now selected should be changed. That will 
only make additonal problems for the 10 persons said yes to join for 
now. 

Is this possible?
