I think it would be after that.  I doubt we could put it together
with <30 days of notice.  Most people who would want to attend need
to book travel arrangements.  While its possible with 30 days notice
you can typically get better rates if you have more lead time.

Also, if this event would indeed be in US, some of the developers would
need to arrange visa, which takes time too (though the time can vary,
reportedly - but 30 days should be enough).

(Then again, after a moment of thought, I'm not sure about the actual
scale of the event - if it's just a short thing for a day or two, a trip
from Europe probably does not make much sense. But if we could think up
enough for four days of fun, it would be probably worth it.)

Very good point.  I myself am trying to justify flying to Eclipse
Summit Europe in November.  Its a long flight from the west coast
of the US.
 

Didn't Johannes mention that he will be in US in October?

He sometimes makes trips to DC for some reason or another.  But maybe
October he was thinking of the GSoC mentor summit?  Its held here in
Mountain View, CA.  Not too far from Portland, relatively speaking.
But if he's here in October I'm not sure he'd want to be here again
in say November.  Not enough time between flights to stretch the
legs out again.  ;-)
