Reason for Utah in December is gracious host offer from Novell. Nothing to do with skiing. Actually, we passed up an offer from Novell to host in August because we were already set in concrete for Santa Fe. I don't like passing up such offers because they usually benefit all parties. PODi has a meeting in Vegas in March. That would be a fairly large morph to our schedule but a possibility. I don't know if the Novell offer is specifically tied to December. I will check. ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM Printing Systems ---------------------------------------------- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <td>"Carl" <carl@manros.com> 10/23/2002 05:49 PM Please respond to carl <td>                To:        Harry Lewis/Boulder/IBM@IBMUS, <pwg-announce@pwg.org>         cc:                 Subject:        RE: PWG-ANNOUNCE> PWG 2003 Schedule        </table> Do you guys REALLY want to go to Utah in December? OK if you like skiing in the dark maybe, but otherwise?   As I have pointed out in earlier correspondance, the first half of December is the absolutely ideal time for coming to Southern Nevada as it is low season, but still nice and warm compared to most other parts of the country.  You can get dirt cheap hotel and meeting room prices, food is typically inexpensive and there are direct, often cheap, flights to the McCarran airport from almost anywhere in the US.   Carl-Uno Carl-Uno Manros 10701 S Eastern Ave #1117 Henderson, NV 89052, USA Tel +1-702-617-9414 Fax +1-702-617-9417 Mob +1-702-525-0727 Email carl@manros.com   -----Original Message----- From: owner-pwg-announce@pwg.org [mailto:owner-pwg-announce@pwg.org]On Behalf Of Harry Lewis Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 4:29 PM To: pwg-announce@pwg.org Subject: PWG-ANNOUNCE> PWG 2003 Schedule We thought we'd nailed the 2003 schedule several times but there are some tweaks. 1. We originally had our December meeting on the week of 12/8/2003 but, in the latest minutes it moved to 12/01. Not sure if this is a typo. Nonetheless, there are only 3 days between Thanksgiving and 12/01/2003 so I recommend we move it back to the original 12/8. 2. We flagged in Santa Fe that our 2003 April date (4/21) is too close to Easter (4/20). So we need to move this date. My first suggestion is April 28 (same location - D.C.). 3. There is an effort to coordinate, if possible, with the PODi schedule. I doubt we could match entirely but it would be nice to try and align at least once in the year. March 2 is the most likely target. As a reminder, (including changes 1 and 2, above) our 2003 plan would look like this. Jan 20 - Maui April 28 - D.C. July 14 - Vancouver B.C. Oct 6 - N.Y.C. Dec 8 - Provo UT (hosted by Novell). ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM Printing Systems ----------------------------------------------
