Bill, may I suggest trying to get a group rate for whatever motel that you
decide on? You can then encourage everyone to stay there to increase
their opportunities to interact with each other.
When I went to my first few workshops I stayed in motels since GM was
paying for it. In those days the cheapest housing was in the dorms, but I
saw no need to stay there. But I eventually realized that many of the
sharper folks stayed in the dorms even though their employers would have
paid for a motel. The big reason? The bull sessions that went on until
early morning. So I wised up and began staying in the dorms, too.
With all due respect to the sessions and to the people who speak, I found
that much of the really valuable info I got was from informal discussions
at meals, breaks, and evening bull sessions as much as at the sessions.
BTW, I haven't seen information about where and when we register, get our
name tags and polo shirts, etc, Also, I didn't see any info on when and
where meals and snacks are available versus when we are on our own.
Thanks, Bill. I presume the whole crew of volunteers are getting pretty
frazzled as the Workshop start gets closer. My thanks and appreciation to
all....

There a $69 hotel listed.
But there might be better choices.
We plan to work on that Monday.
Thanx

Sir,
Pardon me ? ?Campus Hotel? ??. I did not see that on the list.
I?ve sent in my registration and fees already ? I have not decided if
I?ll,
drive, ride (motorcycle) or fly to Ohio just yet but have been looking for
accommodations.
From the ?vmworkshop? website, I see that the Blackwell is the closest
but also a bit more expensive. I also found the ?Days Inn Columbus
Fairgrounds?
being the cheapest. I have not contacted either but ? am now curious about
the ?Campus Hotel? you?ve mentioned.
Do any / all of these hotel?s have smoking rooms ??.
Any advise and or direction from people that know the area and or are,
currently involved w/VM would be appreciated.
I have not touched VM since the early ESA days but now want to learn more
about both, VM and z/Linux.
Please acknowledge and advise.
Kind Regards
Jim Thomas
