We are organizing a Puppet mini conf. The time frame is Septemberish, but no locations or dates are set, which is essentially the point of this email.
For locations, I'm proposing Salt Lake City, UT, Portland, OR, or somewhere in or around SF/Silicon Valley with my list of pros and cons. Salt Lake City Pros * Beautiful Fall * New Improved Liquor Laws * Almost Central * Most Affordable Accommodations * Easy for me to arrange * I am selfish Cons * Not as much Puppet community as some places * Luke is allergic to religion Portland Pros * We love the city * Luke hopes to move there * Chance to build local Puppet community Cons * Know less about the options * Probably need to make arrangements without anyone seeing the venue Bay Area Pros * Lot's of local Puppet users * Lot's of people that know the area and options to help make arrangements Cons * Most expensive accommodations if we go with the city proper The format I have in mind is 2 days of experience reports, and workshops showing and sharing what people are doing, leaving a third of the time for unconference style discussion. The cost will be minimal, something like $100, enough to cover the venue, some food and probably a T-shirt. Looking for opinions on the location and dates, then volunteers interested in presenting, leading discussions or helping to organize things.
