Proposed venue

.

Vienna (Wien)

.

Short impression how the State of the Map 2011 would look like

July 8th to 10th (Fri - Sun), Friday could be the "Pro" users day. Two main rooms with sessions, a third smaller room with workshops. There should be more focus on technical talks, IMO. Venue should fit for 250+ people.

.

AGIT conference will take place July 6th to 8th, maybe there will be some people travelling from Salzburg to Vienna (probably by train or car). AGIT will have an OSM emphasis next year.

.

Evening events could be:

visiting a Viennese "Heurigen" in Grinzing
probably traveling to the "Heurigen" with historical trams (doing some sightseeing ;)
a nice dinner

.

We could also visit Copa Cagrana or enjoy a river cruise on the Danube .

.
