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.
