SasView? Code Camp-II

It has been suggested that as Camp-I was held in the US, Camp-II should be in Europe.

Given the geographic distribution of developers in Europe one sensible location would be the Rutherford Appleton Lab, UK (home to ISIS/Diamond), and Steve King at ISIS would be willing to organise it. However, this would require that the Camp take place during ISIS shutdowns. ISIS shutdowns in the first half of 2014 are currently:

• 21 Dec 2013 - 10 Feb 2013
• 29 Mar 2014 - 05 May 2014
• 21 Jun 2014 - 07 Jul 2014

Similarly Diamond is shutdown:

• 20 Dec 2013 - 11 Jan 2014
• 14 Mar 2014 - 05 Apr 2014
• 01 Jun 2014 - 21 Jun 2014

The Easter holiday weekend is 18-21 Apr 2014, with additional Public Holidays on 5 and 26 May 2014.

There is thus a good window of opportunity the week commencing Mon 31 Mar 2014 when both ISIS & Diamond are shutdown. This also avoids any US Federal Holidays.

Comments on this proposed location/date are welcomed, as are any other offers to host Camp-II.
