O'Dell @ 2009-04-24 13:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs Hello! Although I probably won't be able to go unless it's close (a.k.a. in the Baltimore / Washington DC area -- which actually isn't perhaps a bad idea?), the subject of an IWP9 has been brought up several times this year. I'd like to get the ball rolling on this, in case anybody is interested in setting it up or attending. I think the question at this point is, ``Who wants to organize it, and who will attend?'' I'm perfectly fine to organize the event, and I'm sure my office could more than accommodate any interested attendees. Just kind of curious what timeframes people would be interested in, and whether people would be able / willing to come. If not, some discussion on the when and where might not be a bad idea, anyway.

Ok, I hadn't seen that. Similarly, I'm in Columbia, MD, which is about 15 minutes from both BWI and Reagan Int'l airports (Dulles is a bit of a hike; perhaps more towards 40 minutes), and there are many Amtrak stations around. Home of Message Systems (where I work, though we don't do anything interesting with Plan 9 except listen to me proselytize it), and a short distance away from the ``Nation's best Crab'' (I think that's what Baltimore is calling it) and Capitol. > i was thinking about 22-24 october 2009. there was some > discussion of changing the format to include some workshop > this year. i would like to do that, but it's not clear to me what > the format should be. i would imagine the workshop would > start a few days before the 22 with prep taking place throughout > the summer. since many of the likely workshop participants > are doing gsoc, perhaps the workshop can be some hands-on > with the summer's work and we can expect papers from them, > too as well as the usual suspects. :-) > > if we can agree on that, i'd enjoy doing it. I like that format; I was thinking it would be good to see some of these projects have presentations as well. Additionally, October is sufficiently far in the future that it should work out rather well. I could probably make it down to ATL; would probably only be a 3-or-so hour flight. If you need any help with planning / logistics, that's fine. If people would rather do it here, that's fine. If nobody needs me to do anything, that's fine too, just trying to get the ball rolling :) > - erik --dho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

And as an added bonus... Erik will be in his time zone. So if anyone wants to work out ride-share or car rental details with him he won't (most likely) show up a day before. -jas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

End of the year is a difficult time for travel, the budgets for travel are depleted, or not if the fiscal year starts earlier than the calendar one, not defined well enough.

Perhaps just a 9con then? If response is poor on both (IWP9 / 9con) counts, I'm up for organizing an IWP9 in 1Q10. It'd be fun in any case to put something together. I'll try to figure some initial stuff out and see what the rest of the general response and interest is. What do people think about erik's timeframe versus potentially mid-January / early February / early March 2010? --dho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

I am willing to host here in Austin, TX -- we have a classroom that seats somewhere between 50-75 that I can use, although getting everybody through security can be a bit of a pain. Downside is that Austin doesn't tend to be an international hub, so its more of a pain to get to flight wise -- doesn't seem we have any lack of volunteers to host this year anyways, but I figured I'd put it out there for the future. -eric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

My 1¢ worth (the economy has devalued it from 2¢) is that the time doesn't matter so much for me, since it would probably be on my dime.

I think that should be a consideration for location.
