heh.

i'm gonna make this really geeky and turn it into a thought experiment
--

say you have n number of people (where n>4) all over a country / world
-- who all want to meet up -- would there be a way to get the optimal
(read: cheap) place/time for them to meet? 

this is kind of a logistics thing.

like for me and my buddy in orange county - oceanside california would
be optimal as an interim place to meet - halfway between, works out
well.

something to take advantage of low airfares and coordinate it between
the participants?

like - okay, here's a person in London, 2 in New York, 1 in Pakistan -
okay, your optimal location is -- BOTSWANA or something.

forgive me if I make no sense. :-)
