This has been mentioned elsewhere, but not in this thread: the middle of summer is high season for air travel to Europe from North America and elsewhere and as a result tickets are much more expensive. Over the last 4 years of GUADECs we have shifted from mid-late May (no problem) to early July (the only dates that are harder to travel are religious holidays). If keeping the costs down is a factor, then perhaps some attempt should be made to return the conference forward in the calendar a bit. Too late for 2008, of course, but something we may want to consider for 2009. Otherwise, if we're not worrying about budgets, then by all means. European summers are lovely.
