[SATToSE] Possible venues for SATTOSE 2019

Below, I just repeat all proposals for possible venues for SATTOSE 2019 that have been mentioned so far. Since I’m stepping down as SATTOSE SC chair, I would prefer to leave the discussion to pick next year’s venue to the new chair. In the mean time, my personal opinion on the venue is : - It would be interesting to have it in Austria for once, but is there any concrete proposal? - Having it organised in France again for the reasons mentioned would be good too. - I don’t have any objection against Romain Robbes’ proposal to host it in Italy, though I think it is a pity that would imply that SATTOSE is only 2 days then. - Tunesia seems to be a bit too far. - I didn’t hear any concrete proposals for any of the other venues mentioned so for now I just consider them as loose ideas. Suggested SATToSE 2019 venues Italy IT, Bolzano, Romain Robbes We have a concrete offer from Romain here, collocated with a summer school. It would be a SATTOSE that is shorter than usual though (except for attendees that join both SATTOSE and the summer school) Tunesia Cf. a suggestion by Gregorio Robles. Should this be investigated in more detail? France In a previous discussion last year it was suggested it would be nice to have SATToSE organised in France again. What happened to that idea? That idea would revive French participation in SATToSE again since it diminished significantly in recent years. Tom suggested as possible venues: FR, Bordeaux, Xavier Blanc, Jean-Remy Falleri FR, Lille, Laurence Duchien Netherlands Are any of these concrete proposal or just an initial suggestion by Tom.
