This seems like good reasoning to me so your order of preference makes
sense to me also.

WRT "too much going on" when co-locating -- can we aim to abut with
other conferences rather than overlapping? At least this way travel can
be amortized.

Or do people have an issue with the setup where Mon-Wed: Big Conference
(LinuxCon etc), Thur-Fri: Micro/specialised/smaller-confs etc. Where
XenSummit is on the Thur+Fri because there are too many other smaller
conferences doing the same thing?

I have a strong preference for a XenSummit near some other big event
such as LinuxCon or FOSDEM. It's not worth making the trip to a far-off
location just for a one or two-day dev summit, much as I'd enjoy it!

The overloading of microconferences happens all the time. Most
people only really have a conflict between one or two things, and I
just hop between events for the interesting bits for me.
