RE: My Personal Drama After Steemfest 3!
Sounds like a great venue if we could move sf4 to the summer months. Newfoundland is pretty cold in November, no?

The same as Krakow or Toronto for that matter. The arguments against North America is it's too costly in the major cities either fall or summer and availability of venues for 6 days is difficult.
The Carribean might be a possibility in the off-season - North America's summer, but we'd have to change the date to say July! But I don't know how many North Americans would like to go to countries nearer the Equator in our summer. The biggest plus with Newfoundland is the east coast hospitality which is next to none. And we need to give consideration to getting visas for participants from around the world. Given that consideration, Canada has a good welcoming history. St' John's is not perfect but I rate it very high for safety, lower cost and hospitality.
I think you nailed it with this point with all the hassles some people face trying to get into some countries.
Personally the weather doesn't bother me one way or the other. I live in England lol
To paraphrase Billy Connely.
Did you suggest it as a location to @roelandp when you were at SF3?
Love Billy! Yes, I did mention it to Roeland and he asked me to get him some stuff as we move forward. It's a long shot because of the flight connections. But so was Krakov. I'll keep pressing!
It would be worth looking at the demographics and see where the largest group of steemians are. There must be quite a few in the North Americas.
There are about 130 of us active steemians in the UK and it's a relatively short flight for us to Canada and only a couple more hours for most people in central europe.
Maybe we should start a campaign? :-) Have a !tip as my VP is low.
