Hello,

I would like to know why is the presence of the Mikrotik community in western Europe so low ?
For example, I've never seen any MUM in France or Spain.
This is strange, as I know, Mikrotik is quite widely used in Spain, for example on the Guifi.net in Barcelona.

Is there any plan to make a MUM or any kind of presence here ?

Thanks

Maybe it is cheaper for people to attend where the MUMs are being held?

And better connectivity to both the "Wizz Air side" and the "easyJet side"?

Thank you for the suggestion about MUM in France and Spain. Please follow our announcements about upcoming events, there will be great places coming.

Now we are inviting you to come to our Grand European MUM, where we will celebrate our anniversary (10th MUM in Europe), it will be held in the heart of Europe at Prague (which is very convenient to travel from any European town).

FYI, Cyprus just announced 6 incentive packages for new flights, including one for winter. To keep in mind.

A good option for a West European MUM would be an Atlantic MUM in Iceland. Then you could have the USA MUM in Texas.

WOW air's fleet could be expanding from 5 to 30 planes over the next 5 years.

A little digression, related to what I mentioned above:

Some obvious observations if a person is not looking for the cheapest flight:

- They will accept a connection for the chance of flying the A380, otherwise, they want to fly direct.
- If they can't fly direct, they want to avoid backtracking as much as possible, except for the A380 if it's not too much, or doing a layover for fun.
- They will select the shortest total time, but with low risk of missing a connection, if it does not cost much more.
- They avoid connecting at airports overcrowded with planes or people.
- There might be too few international Premium Economy seats, and lack of this class would be a reason to avoid an airline right from the search engine.
- They don't like noisy planes (including when parked).
- If there has been a history of strikes lately, they will try to find an alternative
- The website may lose you a sale, even if the above.
- They hate overly narrow aisles

For more advanced fliers:
- If flying economy, they prefer A340 2-4-2 to B777 3-4-3 (but what they really want is 2-3-2).
- They prefer a plane with 2-2 to another with 3-3 (except if it's noisy).
- In Premium Economy, they want the good seats, like those of Air France
- In Business, they prefer 2-2-2 to 2-3-2
- They check seatguru (including pitch, of course)
- In the A380, they want the top floor
- No fan of low flight ceiling planes

Enthusiasts will object to some of the rules above.

Thank you

When i asked that question to a product manager in MUM Venice '14, answer was .. "western Europe is too far from the center of Europe, people would have to drive a too long way". No joke!

It would be better use high speed rail than driving all the way.
