Hi,
Personnaly I don't really see the interest for another Pike conference as long as the issues from the last conference are not fixed that is embedding and documentation of the internals especially the later since I can understand that embedding is lot of work.
I don't see why unfixed issues from the last conference speak against a new conference/meeting. Instead I'd like to know what happened in the development of pike, talk with developers and users. Yet I personally would vote against Essen. Simply because it's only about 150 km apart from Paderborn, where the last meeting took place. I'd find it more interesting to either have it in Linköping to give the core developers a better chance to participate. (Though this places to workload of the conference planning also on them), or to go to a totally different location far away from Paderborn to allow other pike-user communities to put a focus on their experiences with pike.

Having the conference during the first week in October would probably work for me, too. Obviously, we should try to pick a time that's convenient for as many as possible. Any others have opinions? A decision should probably be made within the next month, so that others have time to plan around it.
I think Martin's leading option was somewhere around Essen, Germany. There's apparently an interesting option for space and housing; there would be local publicity if I'm not mistaken, and the additional possibility of involving some local Pike-users at the University in Essen.
