Hi Nathan Kopp, you recently wrote in povray.general:

Pity, it would have been a blast (it probably still will be<g>).
Thomas Baier and I are going this year and are looking forward to
meeting with a few other raytracers and POV-ers at the conference.

  I thought you might be attending again this SIGGRAPH, Lutz.
Unfortunately, some unexpected and expected expenses have surfaced
(had to buy a new computer, among other things). Won't be meeting you
guys this year, either :(

  Maybe Eduard can meet up for a BOF get-together since he is not too
far of a drive from the conference.

  I hope you guys have a great time! Take pictures!

Ok, that's one. Any more?

Ik zag laatst dat ze in Almelo zelfs computergestuurde stoplichten hadden, via
de satelliet of zo. Vast ook nog real-time gerendered.
Nee, gelukkig is er nog Haaksbergen, met die fijne landingsbaan voor
straaljagers...

Interested, yes. But I'm not sure I'll be able to come in
August (hope to have started my great big effe-uit-de-sleur
travels by then...)

Don't be too successful, else whoever gets to use that software might well
have killed most of the POV-international people before you get a chance to
visit <grin>

(As a small aside, if you were being serious, it's unlikely that anyone will
work in military intelligence if they announce to the World they've applied
(or they intend to apply)...doesn't exactly go down too well given the usual
secrecy you're expected to adopt. Well not here, at least, where you are may
be different I guess)

Organisation of the event would take some time, and would best
achieved by someone organising in their home town. So it's got to
be central and in the home town of one of the hard core POVers.

Europe would have some other considerations, centrally placed and
POV population wise Germany would be the best choice, but Germany
is very expensive, and we have language/border barriers it might
not be too easy for some of our friends from eastern countries to
get into say Holland or Germany.

Just a few thoughts.

Believe it or not but real life is still there even when the
computer is turned on.
