Can we have it in that place that hosts Groundhog day?
Didn't we have all these discussions last year?
Is this a wiki tradition nobody told me about?

I agree.
The work behind the organization is more than organizing a wiki-meeting to
drink a beer.
People have to consider the costs for travel, the booking of tickets and
the accommodation plus visas.
Yes, six months is a convenient timeline to start working on.

May I point out that if you want to be able to book tickets 3 months
before <event:date> you should start working on <event> at the very
least six month in advance. How can you tell the destination of your
booking if you don't know where the event is going to be held?
From WM-IT's experience with WMConf 2013 (which we are discussing to
replicate) you have to start organizing it in November, no later.

Plus, you're forgetting visas.
