Since it seems, that costs are the most critical point for most of us, what
about a few days on a camp ground somewhere at a nice place? Should be cheap
and a nice landscape for free. I don't think, that we would need a lot of IT
infrastructure for such a first meeting, I would even say, we don't need
any. Thus a simple, plain and cheap camp ground could do. Maybe a hotel
should be close to it, for those, who don't like tents? What do you think?

Bye,
Marc
