in reply to csel: We're planning to do it in Southeast Asia indeed, and target people from worldwide. Many countries around here have very decent visa policies, and vaccinations are not that hard to get either.

I am in SE Asia at the moment (Chris Travers-- signed up on the site). If you need ideas regarding places let me know. I have contacts around, and there are great places like Lombok. The question becomes though how remote is remote.

There are nice islands near Padang, Sumatra too (and Padang is famous for its food). In terms of SE Asia, Indonesia and Malaysia both have lots of tropical islands, but there is always the Maldives and the Philippines too.

Who are you targeting? Are you targeting hackers and devs from Southeast Asia only?

If you are targeting developers from US or Canada, you are going to have issues with passports and all other travel complications like shots (vaccines), visa's etc. Unless, if you do it in Hawaii you will not have any of the above issues.

Great idea nonetheless. Good luck with everything.
