You should do one in Morocco. It's probably the most exciting country you can get to in just a couple hours flight from London. I think one of the low budget airlines flies to Fes now, which is an extraordinarily interesting city. Rent a Riad there ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moroccan_Riad ) and you'll have a truly unforgettable event.

Interesting, thanks Simon. It kind of reminds me http://2011.funconf.com which took place in a castle.

You could organize one in Morocco. Everybody is free to organize an extreme conf.

yeah baby sign me up!

The floating stuff on the backdrop of the website is very distracting!

ExtremeJS and ExtremJS seem to be used interchangeably. Is that a typo, or do you mean to call it both?

how about in Edinburgh on top of Arthur's Seat?

BTW, we're looking for someone who knows Paris' Catacombs well.

I could do a conference in an Amsterdam coffeeshop.

Sounds fun. But why is it limited to js?

I'm too scared to take part.

this is a parody right?

I can only assume so.

Nope. The guy behind Antartic.js has already organized/spoke to a lot of conference and now he is trying to organize something uncommon. I believe he can succeed (he has already visited the venue and convinced some famous JavaScript developers to come).

Concerning the Eiffel Tower, it'll be on July (organized by a friend, a colleague is one of the speaker).

You may be wondering "Why?". Because they can.

and why?
