Was really bummed not to be able to make IWP9 this year.  A note to
whoever is considering hosting the next one -- it would be really cool
for us corporate types if we could move it into the first two quarters
of the year as its usually around July that our travel budgets get
slashed.  I think it would even be worth skipping a year so we could
move it earlier if that was necessary.   Co-location with a major
conference (USENIX, OSDI, SOSP, etc.) would be nice too, but since
that would probably bump the costs for folks it may be less desirable.

Putting in a request for somewhere in the Northeast U.S.  next year,
if people are willing to accept the weather.  I'd offer to host it
here in Rochester (at RIT, I think they'd go for it) but the
conditions can be expected to be similar to Murray Hill's from IWP9
2007.

Colocation with Bondi Beach may not be bad either.

You, and Summit Police, have met Ms Wendy - Mr Hensbergen
Pickup-Truck. I will give in and fly if needed. What else do I do with
all these damned frequent flyer miles?

With all due respect,
