>> With all due respect to the various organizers involved, this disruption in what was an established routine threatens to kill the ImageJ Users & Developers meeting. That’s a shame, because it was shaping up as a very good meeting with a stable (and interesting) set of people showing up regularly.

>> I don’t think I’m the only one whose Spring schedule is already starting to fill up with commitments to those meetings that actually announce a time and place well in advance. Given the stated goal (see below) to announce details “9-12 months in advance” - we are now looking at SUMMER (or Fall!) of 2015.

>> It may be understandable that there was a desire to replace (or augment) the established meeting - but there were TWO YEARS in which that could have been done without screwing with the schedule. “Decisions to be announced soon” should have been made and announced no later than October of 2013. Actually, most *successful* meetings announce firm plans for the dates and location of a meeting AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING. For those organizations, the right time to announce changes would have been October of 2012.

>> Personally, I’m disappointed. I was a regular participant in the Luxembourg meetings, but right now it is very unclear if I will have the time or inclination to attend whatever is “announced soon”.
