Hey, @tareq, thank you so much for bringing this up.

We do take into consideration as much as we possibly can when thiking of dates for WordCamp Europe. We consider this event a global one and we try to be welcoming and accessible for everyone.

Let me shed a bit of light into our decision making process when choosing dates, so maybe everyone can understand a bit better how that happens.

The team needs to organise the event in the first half of the year so that we have a good balance in time with WordCamp US.

As the event grows, the number of venues that can host it shrinks significantly and so do the dates available for it.

This year we were looking at dates from the beginning of May until the end of June. We chose the dates 16-18th of June which have the least clashes with other major tech events, big holidays around the world and most importantly - holidays in France, which might have caused logistical problems for attendees and made some services unavailable.

I'm sincerely hoping that venue availability will allow us to choose dates that don't clash with Ramadan in the future. In the meantime, I'd really like to hear what would make it easier for you to travel during Ramadan - the WCEU team will do the best we can to help out.

It was lovely to meet you in the US, looking forward to talking again soon!
