[9fans] Next IWP9
Was really bummed not to be able to make IWP9 this year. A note to whoever is considering hosting the next one -- it would be really cool for us corporate types if we could move it into the first two quarters of the year as its usually around July that our travel budgets get slashed. I think it would even be worth skipping a year so we could move it earlier if that was necessary. Co-location with a major conference (USENIX, OSDI, SOSP, etc.) would be nice too, but since that would probably bump the costs for folks it may be less desirable. -eric

I'd offer to host it here in Rochester (at RIT, I think they'd go for it) but the conditions can be expected to be similar to Murray Hill's from IWP9 2007. John

i have offered to host in athens, ga. home of coraid, the university of georgia, and almost never any snow. we're just outside atlanta. That would work better really well for me, as I'm in Memphis--much easier to drive to Atlanta than to the northeast, or Greece for that matter... And since it'd probably be on my dime, saving plane fare is really appealing. Just my 2 cents--and worth every penny... BLS

I´m trading snow extra hours flying. :) I don´t like snow too much, but making a long trip longer is worse, IMHO.

Also I would likely be able to volunteer to video tape the talks and assemble a DVD of them if it were. I would be interested in doing so anyway if I can get myself and my gear to the conference. Ian
Re: [9fans] Next IWP9
Colocation with Bondi Beach may not be bad either. http://www.chunder.com/may96/ravesis.html You, and Summit Police, have met Ms Wendy - Mr Hensbergen Pickup-Truck. I will give in and fly if needed. What else do I do with all these damned frequent flyer miles?

Clearly you just want to go skiing ;) If you want skiing then you want to hold it in Whistler (British Columbia). But I would *strongly* recommend against skipping a year if it's held there :-P There are things about Whi$tler that would pose problems for some.
