Carsten,
I was at the Emacs Conference in London back in 2013; it was a great
experience and there were people from all over the world (only <50%
org-moders).
The idea of an org-mode conference is cool. I'm happy to provide
facilities in Geldermalsen, the Netherlands at Snow, but Amsterdam,
London or Paris seem like a better fit for this.
We may consider piggybacking on the Emacs Conference though, I'm not
sure when it's coming back, but it's something worth trying; it saves a
lot of travelling.
Saving money for an org-mode conference certainly is in line with the
intention of the people behind the donations. In fact, I'll be happy to
donate money then.
regards,
Joost Helberg
