University of Wisconsin would be a good choice for next year... Strong VM ties
(TCP/IP) there too.
Madison is one of my favorite places in the US, but it tends to be hard to get
to cheaply (cheap is a big factor for Workshop). Current discussion has
University of Kentucky as top candidate, Ohio State again, or University of
Nebraska, but I'd go to Madison in a heartbeat. Nothing fixed in stone yet - we
gotta go out and check it out -but UK did some awesome Workshops in the past.
Those folks know how to throw a party - the BBQ at the last one was legendary.
In order not to derail this list, I'd strongly encourage anyone who's
interested in VM Workshop to sign up for the VMWKSHOP mailing list (at
vm.marist.edu). Better yet, volunteer! Gets you free shirt, first shot at the
beer, fame... well, at least for lots of tech dudes. 8-)
