DebConf 9 is on July 16-31 in Spain but other the other 3 dates are good right 
now.  Another idea I just had is an OpenVAS village at Hacking at Random, 
August 13-16, 2009?

I'll definately attend assuming I know early what the date is and can make 
appropriate arrangements.

Sounds like fun, I'd like to have a spot on governance put on the agenda.  
There are a number of things I'd like to brain storm with a view to getting 
feedback from openvas-discuss post conference.

Sounds good to me but this isn't a crucial point in my mind.  More important 
is to get some of the various developers together and hack some code.
