Hi Folks, I've been holding back commenting on holding something before SIGCSE because I'm not sure if there will be another HFOSS Symposium in 2011. If there is, I wouldn't want to create conflict with that by holding a workshop before the conference at the same time. And I tried holding a workshop after the conference this year (2010) and it got cancelled due to lack of enrollment. Seems many folks don't want to stay after the actual conference.
Can anyone comment on the probability of a 2011 HFOSS Symposium at SIGCSE?

Could it be packaged as 2 x 3 hour workshops (Part I, Part II)? We could also try something similar at a CCSC meeting - CCSCNE is at WNEC in April, right?

If I took the lead (or anyone else can, for that matter), would you and/or others be interested in leading a 1-day at SIGCSE? The deadline for workshops is coming up in about a month. (Actually, a 1-day is longer than the typical format -- SIGCSE does 3-hour workshops. We'd have to make a case for a full-day.)
