RE: Conference locations in the East

One speaker who always goes to RSA (InfoSec conference that's always in
SF/San Jose) wrote a restaurant review guide for attendees.

I believe it would be easier on the speakers to go back to the same

place every year too.

Nah - it gets boring <grin>  There's no real advantage from a speaker's
perspective.  On the down side anyone who doesn't like/can't drive
to/can't afford/etc. a specific location would never go to COMMON.
Remember there's only going to be one main COMMON conference a year from
now on.  The fall conference will be a smaller "workshop/seminar only"
type of event.

Besides - I really dislike Miami.  Horrible airport, ultra sweaty
climate, and in the Spring expensive.  The hotels were (relatively)
cheap because COMMON was there in hurricane season.  Just as a check I
just went on-line to Loews reservation system and they are quoting $399
as the _lowest_ price for April 15th - 20th.  Don't think that would be
a huge hit with attendees.
