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.

I suspect we'll end up having a whole bunch of regional meetings if this is going to happen at all. I'm in the Bay Area, California and Sacramento is *just* within reasonable reach to hold an evening meeting, for *some* parts of the Bay Area. San Francisco is more central (indeed, BACFUG - Bay Area ColdFusion User Group - meets in SF and gets folks from Sacramento sometimes even tho' they have their own UG). I can see a Bay Area WSG meeting drawing folks from all over the Bay Area - Sacramento to San Jose and maybe a little further afield. I can also see an Orange County WSG meeting drawing folks from the greater LA area and down as far as San Diego. I don't see folks from the West Coast going to Chicago just for a WSG meeting - a full-blown two day conference maybe, but not just a meeting. Same with the East Coast folks (there should be a good concentration of them to make a 'local' DC-based meeting worthwhile I'd expect). Question to Peter - is the city/state level membership information available in aggregate so we can figure out what might work for regional US meetings? ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
