[DUG-TO] Drupalcamp 2009 -- possible summer dates

[James Walker]

My vote continues to be with the August date - it give better lead  
time for sponsors - particularly over the slow moving / hard to get  
ahold of anyone summer months.

But, I agree: we need to just call it and get the other pieces moving.

We can do one last push / call to action for votes if we want. Close  
the poll end of tomorrow if need be, but let's not let it drag on any  
longer.
