Hi,
I will do in November an event in Cambodia called Fossography, main purpose of the even is to include asian contributors better into foss projects. Cambodia sounds far but flight costs are not more expensive as an flight from US to Europe, visa is not a problem there are only few countries excluded from the arrival one, so its pay get in. The hotels in Phnom Penh are extremly cheap, you get for 40$ an 5star hotel room but prices start with just 1$ a day (including breakfast and a bottle water a day). Same is for food, you get for 3-5$ a nice all you can eat khmer bbq.
Hi S.Kemter,
I take it this is a font/text oriented conference? I'm not sure we have a lot of developers with font interest specifically, but perhaps a visit to Cambodia might be interesting to some irregardless.
Can you create a page in our wiki for this conference, with pointer to your website and other details, such as Inkscape-specific opportunities (e.g. hackfests, workshops, presentations) being organized? It should also have travel and lodging cost estimates, like we did for Toronto, and how many to be sponsored; this will enable the board to vote on providing funding. If your group is going to cover some costs or provide sponsorship or other cost offsets that is worth mentioning so we can take that into account.
Cambodias people are extremly welcoming and open, especially the youth who really likes to learn and work to change their lifes. Inkscape has already a lot of friends now there, I was last year twice in Phnom Penh and gave a lot of workshops how to use it.
I mentioned in another email that I get the sense that there are a lot of users (and developers?) of Inkscape in eastern and southeastern Asia. Yet we see relatively few people from Asia active on our mailing lists or irc channels. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on why we aren't seeing them, what is holding back their participation, and what we might be able to do to rectify that?

This was the last one in November organized by Development Innovations an US AID driven NGO and I trained there teachers and employees of other NGO so that they can use it in there lessons and working processes.
In addition I will have some budget for speakers and participants of hackfests, so could be a good possibility for Inkscape.

Thanks Krystof,
Leeds Eh, very interestin. I love taking the trans Pennine route. I've added some details for the wiki and it'd be great for people who've never seen post-industrial west yorkshire. (Leeds is only about 60 miles from where I'm from in Widnes. We could always do Leeds for the hackfest and take a train together to London for LGM.
I've seen London tons and I expect others have too Although I'd also like to see Warsaw.
London is a very solid contender. It's prices for inner city stay are frighting and the rooms are small. I think I've been spoiled by the hotel rooms in the US where they give you a flat's worth of space.
My promise to be there this time for reals!
Best Regards, Martin Owens

There were already some noises made at the hackfest about the next one, so I made a wiki page to record the very early planning / proposals:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2016
The possible locations mentioned at this year's hackfest were London, Leeds and Warsaw. I added some information about London and Warsaw. I never visited Leeds, but Alex should be able to provide further information.
