There are three problems with Vegas:
1. It is not that cheap to stay on the strip (and would you want to go
anywhere else?)
2. We would be just "another" conference, where in DC we could get a lot
of local support.
3. I live in DC, so that's a lot of "free" groundwork that I can do.
Maybe Vegas after a successful year here? :-)

Subject: [THIN] An Independent iForum-like Conference?
Hi All,
=20
At the THIN list dinner at Shula's at iForum last year, a bunch of us
guys and gals sat around and talked about all sorts of things.
=20
One thing we discussed was that we felt that iForum was turning into an
"industry event" as opposed to a good old fashioned tech conference. We
discussed creating our own vendor-neutral server-based computing
technical conference.

I've been busily working on this idea for several months now. I've
talked to a lot of you offline about it, and to vendors, hotels, and
management companies. I live in Washington DC, and we've even brought
this idea to the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. Fairfax
county is the home of "Silicon Alley" which is the DC-area home to many
huge tech companies. (They love the idea, BTW.)

So, here's what I'm thinking. I have a meeting with the FCEDA on Friday,
and I'd like to get your opinions on stuff:

Independent Server-Based Computing Tech Conference, Washington DC, April

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
