[development] DrupalCon poor planning around Jewish Holidays two years running

[Boris Mann]

I suspect Moshe will respond directly as well, but when I spoke with

interesting and suitable events to take part in in Barcelona.

Note that it's generally the local conference organizers that set
final dates and such.
