Furthermore, having two conferences a year adds to flexibility, and to the
ability to rotate staff through the conference without taking out your
whole shop.

I think that cutting it to once a year is a disservice to Common members.
Project schedules and other concerns make it tough enough to schedule... if
you've only got the choice of one week a year, alot of members will miss
their chance.  If savings need to be found, I think it should be done via
choice of cities and venue... some of the facilities at the largest
cities/hotels/centers aren't that much greater than those that are found in
the cheaper cities.  That makes it cheaper for the organization and the
attendees...

If it could just be once a year I would opt for Spring.  The main reason
is that I've worked at places that have decided mid-year that they
weren't going to meet their numbers.  Fall out from that invariably
includes killing the training budget.

Subject: RE: NOLA/COMMON S06

I think we had quite a raging debate on whether spring or fall would do
lately.  But, I too, forget how that went.  Being as COMMON is, what,
just above half of what it was in it's heyday, I don't see it getting
too crowded.  However the smaller attendance does increase the venue
options.

But at our company, we'll send one or two people to each common.
Cutting it down to once a year would just cut out how often people would
get their rotation.  No, we wouldn't start sending more per conference.

Cutting down to one a year might encourage yet one more company to try
to get a chunk of the pie by hosting 'yet another midrange conference'.
There's already plenty.  We limit ourselves to COMMON and occasionally
IBM Technical Conference.
