David,
Thanks for the info!
A weekend sounds great! Maybe that is a better idea. Let's try to keep it
affordable.

I'd love to do another Developers Conference. It was great to
collaborate face to face with so many people and move along certain
important parts of the project.
How to do it is another question.... My place in Ephraim wouldn't be
available any more as the building is now mostly remodeled and is full
of tenants. If Hotwax were to organize it we would probably hold it in
Salt Lake City, and I'm up here most of the week now anyway.
Another thing for this would be more of a focus on collaboration, and
perhaps limiting to some extent who is allowed to attend, and how much
certain people (like myself) are expected to be involved. That was a
great week last time, but a very long one for me and certain others!
In any case... I guess the big question now is how interested are
people in this? The costs would certainly be higher here in Salt Lake
because of higher hotel rates (unless we keep it to a weekend or
something) and higher meeting room costs as well. Of course, we'll
have far more dining options and a wider range of bowling alleys to
choose from... ;)
Would people be willing to pay something more like $500 (and possibly
more, dunno yet) for a week like this (not including food/lodging, but
including some snacks/water/etc)? If we have a hotel cater meals and
snacks we can probably get the room for free (though that limits our
food options which I and many others probably wouldn't like!).
Anyway, thanks for bringing this up Adrian. For others interested,
please speak up! I'm not sure how/if it will happen, but it's
certainly a possibility and is certainly of value as a way to
collaborate in a more concentrated, rapid, personal way.
