But still, if this is supposed to be a post-Linuxworld gettogether,
wouldn't it make the most sense to have it *near* Linuxworld?
Convenient for people visiting the area for Linuxworld and staying in
nearby {h,m}otels, convenient for people attending Linuxworld from
around the bay. Inconvenient only for those who aren't going to
Linuxworld and aren't nearby.
If this *isn't* really supposed to be a post-Linuxworld gettogether (I'm
a little confused, since I think this thread started with a mention of
the *IRC* party), then maybe Oakland or SF would be reasonable. But in
that case, I'd like to propose that we have one or more post-Linuxworld
gettogethers near Linuxworld. The south bay has plenty of nice spots.
Do we want coffee, bheer, or bhoth?
Traffic is another issue, and one that would tend to suggest that we not
go too far from the convention center till later, i.e. *after* the
gettogether when we're heading toward home (or temporary equivalent).
Bay area traffic is extremely bad, if not world-class bad quite yet

How is the evening traffic coming north? I guess I could do Oakland, if we meet near the BART thing. The traffic going north is often bad. Mountain View to Oakland usually takes an hour to an hour and a half around 6 PM. Unfortunately, if it is on Monday, I can only make it for a short while, unless the meeting continues past 10 PM, then I can return. To be difficult, should slink be released on schedule considering the number of fixes which are still coming through. I just reported a critical bug against pcmcia-modules-2.0.34, which doesn't work.

Re: Intent to Party like its 1999
While I am also in San Jose, I'd say that we may want to have two parties, one
down here in San Jose for those staying down this way, and for those who live
or are staying further north to have a party up there. Just a thought...

Probably more people will be LinuxWorld on Tuesday than Monday. If we
need to have a Monday party, it doesn't need to be near LinuxWorld.
If the party is on Tuesday, it might as well be at LinuxWorld.

Well, if you wanted to get into downtown San Jose from Caltrain, you can take Caltrain into Santa Clara. From there, hop the 60 bus north to the end of the line, which connects to Light Rail. Unfortunately, light rail is currently being extended, so there's a shuttle bus that will take you from there into downtown San Jose. It's painful, but that's one way to get into San Jose from Cal Train.

That probably means that if people do not want to drive, you are limited to the Penninsula or SF proper ... CoffeeNet is not far from the Cal-Train station and the new Embarcadero extention of Muni should get you near there from the Embarcadero BART. I think the last Cal-Train leaves at around 11:30pm that heads south so again, there are limitations. Amtrak runs from Great America to Emeryville but there are few trains. Driving to the East Bay from SJ is a nightmare because of the 880/237 interchange or the bridges, they are jammed from everyone leaving Silicon Valley after work. People tend to forget how spread out the Bay Area really is.

David Bristel writes: Well, if you wanted to get into downtown San Jose from Caltrain, you can take Caltrain into Santa Clara. [and take a bus a long way to light rail] Huh? Caltrain goes to San Jose. It stops right by the Arena, which is only a few blocks from downtown and light rail (and the convention center, and etc.). And the SJ train station is a major hub for bus lines. SJ to or from SF is pretty easy. Kevin Dalley writes: People tend to forget how spread out the Bay Area really is. Yes, and the only centrally located area is underwater. :-) One advantage of doing this in the south bay is that, for most people in or out of the south bay, you're going opposite to the normal flow of commuters. Which means less traffic, less crowding on public transit, etc. Plus, if we meet reasonably near the convention center, it'll allow people to scout out routes to the convention center, and may allow people staying nearby for Linuxworld thingie to attend, if they've arrived early. OTOH, if we weight the bay area by number of packages, then obviously we should meet at Joey Hess's house. If debian packages had mass, Joey's computer would be inside a Schwarzchild radius. :-) -- Chris Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I have a truly elegant proof of the or[EMAIL PROTECTED] | above, but it is too long to fit into http://www.dsp.net/xtifr | this .signature file.
