I agree 100% with Julian, so much so that I've asked my employer if they'd be interested in hosting such a thing here in Sunny San Diego. It turns out we would. Not wanting to stomp on anyone's toes, I'd be happy to arrange such a think at a convenient time for people to gather. We might even be able to help with travel for a few select individuals, and to arrange group discounts for large contingents invading from the Bay Area. Since San Diego is such a fun place to visit, it would be a good idea to pander to hacker families as well. My wife has (been) volunteered to serve as tour guide and transportation coordinator for this endeavor, assisting spouses and offspring in identifying San Diego attractions, getting there, getting back, and getting covered with sunscreen in between. Anyone interested in such an outing, please contact me OFF-LIST. I'd like to know when might be a good time, how long you'd like to stay, etc. We can have the facilities at work over any weekend, but if we want to do weekdays, we'll have to arrange another space. St. Bernard will foot the bill for this up to a certain limit, and I happen to know a great space on Mission Bay, near SeaWorld. We will pre-arrange a reasonably fast network connection and wireless APs if we host offsite; we have those at work already. Weather-wise, San Diego has a very mild climate, with warm but not hot summers and cool but not cold winters. May and June tend to be gloomy and sometimes in October we burn down half the town, but other than that the weather varies from pretty good to gorgeous. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
