[Xen-devel] Xen Summit North America 2010 - Proposal
Xen Community: I have started looking for possible locations and dates for our Xen Summit North America 2010 event and have an option for your consideration. I have added my thoughts after presenting the basic information. Dates: Week of March 13th Location: Pittsburgh, PA (Sheraton Station Square) Event: ACM ASPLOS XV Conference (http://www.ece.cmu.edu/CALCM/asplos10/doku.php) / VEE [March 17-19] (http://www.veeconference.org/) PROs: * I like the idea of co-locating the Xen Summit with the VEE event * Costs - anytime we co-locate our event we can save budget costs CONs: * Location - Pittsburgh is not an International friendly airport ; would require an additional flight within US for European and Asian attendees * Dates - We would need to host our event after VEE (20-21) which is a Saturday-Sunday which I am not a fan of or before VEE (15-16) but am not sure that is an option for us * Attendee - I don''t know of any Xen developers in the Pittsburgh area so this would require EVERYONE to need a hotel So, what are your thoughts? Please email privately to me or publically to the community on this idea. I am still looking for other dates/locations/etc and am open to all suggestions. Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Stephen Spector Community Manager, Xen.org T: +1 772 621 5062 | F: +1 772 365 0338 | M: +1 954 854 4257 stephen.spector@xen.org<mailto:stephen.spector@xen.org> Blog: http://blog.xen.org<http://blog.xen.org/> | Twitter: @xen_com_mgr _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
