[9fans] Next IWP9

[Eric Van Hensbergen]

Was really bummed not to be able to make IWP9 this year.  A note to
whoever is considering hosting the next one -- it would be really cool
for us corporate types if we could move it into the first two quarters
of the year as its usually around July that our travel budgets get
slashed.  I think it would even be worth skipping a year so we could
move it earlier if that was necessary.   Co-location with a major
conference (USENIX, OSDI, SOSP, etc.) would be nice too, but since
that would probably bump the costs for folks it may be less desirable.

Putting in a request for somewhere in the Northeast U.S.  next year,
if people are willing to accept the weather.  I'd offer to host it
here in Rochester (at RIT, I think they'd go for it) but the
conditions can be expected to be similar to Murray Hill's from IWP9
2007.

Northeast US, say january or feb., skipping next year, would
be great for me.

I´m trading snow & extra hours flying. :)
I don´t like snow too much, but making a long trip
longer is worse, IMHO.

If you want skiing then you want to hold it in Whistler (British
Columbia).

But I would *strongly* recommend against skipping a year if it's held
there :-P

Colocation with Bondi Beach may not be bad either.

You, and Summit Police, have met Ms Wendy - Mr Hensbergen
Pickup-Truck. I will give in and fly if needed. What else do I do with
all these damned frequent flyer miles?

With all due respect,

Is it possible to rent a room in the Longhorn? And if there are too
many people, some of us could go on Blackcomb.

Whistler got its name from the common reaction to readers of its rate sheet.

I too would prefer Athens, GA as I live there.  Also I would likely be
able to volunteer to video tape the talks and assemble a DVD of them
if it were.  I would be interested in doing so anyway if I can get
myself and my gear to the conference.

That would work better really well for me, as I'm
in Memphis--much easier to drive to Atlanta than
to the northeast, or Greece for that matter...
And since it'd probably be on my dime, saving
plane fare is really appealing.

Just my 2 cents--and worth every penny...

I like it being near a major airport, and atlanta is a very common
one-stop from many places.

The train connections are London England, Paris France, Bologna Italy,
Bari Italy, Patras Greece and Athens Greece (see
http://www.seat61.com/Greece.htm )

I found direct flights for each except on expedia from ether JFK or EWR
in New York except for GPA-Patras-Araxos

JFK <> London Heathrow LHR

JFK <> Paris (CDG or ORY) France

JFK  <> Guglielmo Marconi, Bologna, Italy

JFK <> Bari (BRI), Italy

EWR <> Athens, Greece

Dear 9fans,

With the initiative of Francisco Ballesteros and
Sape Mullender, a time and a place have been set
for the next International Workshop on Plan 9.

IWP9 will be held on October 30 and 31 in Volos, Greece.
(located by the sea, between Athens and Thessaloniki)

We'll announce the time line for submissions soon,
as well as the composition of the programme committee.

On behalf of the organizers
