Hi,

It's a shame, but trying to get everybody's schedule together is just
impossible. I would also heavily prefer it in July... But lets look at
least at what I can speak about:

- Debconf 4: AFAICT, the dates (late May/early June) were chosen so as
  we would be close to FISL, a massive conference to which many of us
  attended. 
- Debconf 5: We got the buildings 3 weeks after they were finished,
  and left them two(?) weeks before they were used for the athletism
  thing. 
- Debconf 6: We set the dates in May to have Debconf before the rain
  season would be problematic, and before the general elections in
  Mexico

Yes, we tried to have them in a good time for attendees - But it was
never the main criteria.
