RE: [WSG] A California meeting? was Brisbane July Meeting - Report
In Northeastern US, the states are geographically very small, so a New England Chapter which encompasses about 6 states, or even a New York, New England chapter 7 states may work. Is there anyway to organize your graph by region?

RE: [WSG] A California meeting? was Brisbane July Meeting - Report
If there were a california meeting, my vote goes for L.A. Sacramento, is well, Sacramento. Not exactly my idea of a place to visit and spend an extra day. San Francisco is great, but expensive. L.A. is more central, has plenty of room, and can be affordable. Of course, if my job covered the trip I wouldn't mind a trip to SF. I'm in San Diego, which is a great place for a meeting, but too far for our SF and Sacramento(sorry about the above slight) members. L.A. or San Diego might also be better for our Arizona and Nevada people. Ted Near S.F. can be affordable. The price ranges are the same as in L.A. Plus the public transit is better in S.F. than L.A. which might be easier for out of town visitors. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

RE: [WSG] A California meeting? was Brisbane July Meeting - Report
Marina Del Rey, CA is a suburb of Los Angeles, California. Paradise!!! :-) Best, Jim Barricks Might be best to list yourself as Los Angeles then, or is it really too far spread? I've only seen the airport :) This is why we ask for the general city rather than suburbs or sattelite cities. I suspect there are some pretty close to Boston that list their city/suburb locally as well (Cambridge etc.). If you're interested in a meeting in your area, it might be a good idea to change your location to one that shows the closet major city you're prepared to travel to for a meeting. Oh, and please be neat, check the list to see the way others have entered the state etc. Use proper capitalisation. US states should be your two letter code (Uppercase). I keep an eye on it and adjust accordingly but it's time consuming. Also, check the spelling of your country. Some are entered in the local version and some in the English dirivitave (e.g. Brasil instead of Brazil, Espana instead of Spain).
