July 21-25 is also the shortest notice. I will not be able to attend
as plans have already been made for the summer and I've already been
travelling quite a bit recently, after all we were all just at the summit
a few weeks ago.

I question the reasoning that being close to FF is a bad thing, and
suggest adding much later dates. But I understand since the chosen dates
are so close, there is a need to make a decision immediately.

Alternatively, I suggest that we split Heat out of this, and aim at
later dates in August.
