Our thinking here was: traveling costs (money, time, etc.), and the 
attendance rate might be better if we do it in conjunction with an event 
many will attend anyway.

Of course there are downsides to this approach: we'd meet at the 
weekend, attendants would have to be away from home even longer than 
planned, conflict with other IETF things (hackathons, ...), and so on.

As said, it was just a proposal, and we're looking for input on the best 
way to get to a well attended and productive f2f!
