We haven't in the past, but that isn't to say that we couldn't. I think we have tried to keep it in a more temperate time period, but like I say, anything's possible!
On the initial poll, we can put the whole summer and see when the most people can be there.
At this point, I'm just gathering info.
Actually, June dates have been a recent development. Most of the early F2Fs were in May.
Yes, several of the F2Fs fell near my birthday (LEGENDARY!), which is mid-May. We started discussing June because May was difficult for the teachers in the group. But, as we get into June, it gets warmer, and Buffistas are delicate flowers. Of course, if we go the Maine (which I love the idea of, cause Maine is awesome), the heat is not so much an issue.
I would be fine with a July f2f if it means more people could come.
Yeah, depending on the date changes a bit for me which places would be less and more awesome. For instance, May in DC? Nice. July in DC? Ouch.
ETA: I am very excited because for the first time in years, May is neither exams or a large submission at work. I am FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
For instance, May in DC? Nice.
Actually, we had an f2f in May in DC (right?), and it was hella hot. Fine for me, but others suffered. Of course, that was chance whereas July in DC practically guarantees 90s.

What about June in DC? That's DIA this year.
Average temp in June in DC is 89 degrees. I mean, I can dig it, but since folks were uncomfortable in May, I imagine June would be worse.
Average temp in RI in July looks like 72-80.
