Hi all.
What about a Large format gathering in Longyearbyen on Svalbard next summer?
User Morten launched the idea in the introduction forum.

I just recently moved to Longyearbyen on Svalbard - a group of islands north of the european mainland, and could act as a host for such a gathering.

If the interest for a gathering is present I could set up a website (in english) with more information about the islands and how to get there. I know several of the tour operators here and the will be happy to assist with accomodation, boat rental and (if necessary) guides.

Here are some useful links:
