Flights are SOMETIMES cheap to Orlando, but it depends upon the season. Also, hotels there are high. Every site has its tradeoffs. If one wanted to do the convention near DC, Baltimore would be a good choice because there are lots of bargain airfares and a glut of hotel rooms in the area. If the goal were to do it near Boston, I'd consider Providence because airfares are lower and it's a bit closer to NYC. One might be able to get some sponsorship from Andover for such a conference. But I'd pick the Front Range myself, because it's centrally located and has lots of people involved in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. --Brett At 08:16 PM 3/27/2000 , andyt wrote: >Why not pick a place that is inexpensive to fly to? and a place that is >worth driving to in early spring? >Say Orlando Florida?
