This is really for Sam, but I think it's worth
posting to the list.
I'll post this reply publicly for everyone's edification.
I'm sorry if the web page is vague about the date (it is), but there is
not a firm date yet. So far the show will most likely fall somewhere
inside September. The venue that I'm currently negotiating with (The
Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA) has the dates of
September 25-27 set aside for me should I decide to stage it there. I'd
really like to as it is a nice facility and is right in the middle of the
Silicon Valley which is good for all sorts of reasons, but the price is a
lot higher than last year's venue (by about twice as much). But I should
have a firm date hopefully within 4 weeks. I realize people need to make
reservations and the earlier the better, but know that I am working hard
to secure a venue as quickly as possible.
At this point there is a good chance that I will choose the SCCC and the
dates will be September 25-27, but don't base your travel plans around
that yet. It all depends on what sort of financing I can secure in the
next 3 or 4 weeks.
The first speaker has been confirmed for VCF2
this September.
Does this mean you have firm dates yet? I'd like to book flights, time
off work, etc. as soon as I can... It occurs to me that I gave a small talk on the Tek
4050 series last
autumn (fall). I'd like to come to the VCF, and I could probably bring
my 4052 and some demo programs, and give an adapted version of the talk
(either in a scheduled slot or probably more suitably on a demo stand
with the machine).
I'll talk to you about this offline.
Finally, Sam, could you put me on the VCF mailing
list, please. I tried
to subscribe from the web page but we've just migrated to Lusedoze Not
Tolerable and Internut Exploder, with the result that I couldn't get it
to work...
Hmmmm...I thought I tested it under MSIE and it should be working. I'll
check again. If anyone else is experiencing problems with the forms
features then please let me know. Thanks for the tip. And yes, I will
add you to the notification list. To be addded to the mailing list I'll
need your physical address, unless you just want e-mail updates.
