Carl-Uno has a good point. (If I may toss in my $0.02 worth... ;-)
I recall our trip to Snowbird (Utah) back in 1993. An excellent time...but it was during April when there was still light at the end of the day...unlike deep, darkest December.
The biggest win for southern Nevada (ie, Las Vegas, right?) in the off-season is the CHEAP cost of just about everything, from airfare to hotel rooms to food.
Looks like a nice schedule, though. Should be fun.

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.

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).
