I wanted to get some details out regarding the InterOp testing. More
will be coming later but these should allow you to make your travel
plans and ship your equipment.
To reiterate what was stated in the PMP minutes that Harry published:
- The only people allowed in the InterOp testing will be people that
are actively involved in the testing. No kibitizers. Furthermore,
there is a limit of 3 people per company.

Both hotels are within walking distance of Stardust Labs. The rooms at the
Pruneyard Inn are not quite as nice as the Albuquerque Marriott but close
(I have seen them). With regards to the Campbell Inn, I talked to someone
who has stayed there and their opinion was that it was better than a Hotel
6 but not as nice as a Marriott. I will probably stay at the Campbell Inn
because they have a breakfast room that we can use as a meeting room
in the evenings at a cost of $50.00 per evening (cleaning fee). The only
thing that Pruneyard Inn had was their Boardroom at a charge of $125 per
day. My opinion is that we should have some kind of meeting room available
to us in the evening so we can discuss how the testing went that day and
see if any changes need to be made for the next day.
