MacPorts Developer Meeting?

[Eric Gallager]

I would be interested in going, although Europe is kind of far away
from North America... What continent are most people from macports-dev
located on?

(Also, apparently 100 EUR is about $140 USD, and 30 EUR/day is about
$40 USD/day... I had no idea that the two currencies had diverged that
much recently...)
