I don't have all the details, but you are free to join the http://www.peakserv.com/mailman/listinfo/fest-list/ list and discuss there. I believe one person from the local users group is on the faculty of the college. They started as a small event, but by third year had over 300 attend and the fourth and fifth years had over 1000 attend. I know what you mean about finding a facility. I hope to do a BSD conference in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Washington, USA area). I have found one company that said they have a facility we could use. If anyone wants to help, we do have a mailing list to discuss. (Let me know off-list.) Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/
