I'm considering the launching of a VCF Southwest event, but I'd need a
local coordinator in that region to help with the planning and such.
The ideal location for the event would be Austin.
Is anyone interested in being the VCF Southwest regional coordinator? If
so, please contact me directly.
Thanks!

I would like to help even if I live in Houston, what do need? Do you have
a
updated plan on running VCF?

When I think "Southwest", I think of a city a little more.. um...
"west."
Like Denver CO, Albuquerque NM, or El Paso, TX.
You Texans always have an interesting view of where the "Southwest" is.
Hint: if there's more than two states (or 1,000 miles) between you and the
Pacific Ocean west of you, you aren't in the Southwest.
The ideal place for a VCF Southwest would probably be in Phoenix AZ.
That's almost dead center of the "real" Southwest: Not far from Los
Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas, and plenty of cheap flights from
everywhere else.

You can drive west all day in Texas, and still be in Texas.

It is sometimes possible to get some exceptional deals on hotels, meeting
rooms, etc. in Vegas.
Santa Fe typifies the southwest. It is a hassle to get there by public
transportation, but it's worth it for the food.
So, is the goal "Southwest" or is the goal "Texas"?

Personally I think the goal would be to have it in the "close enough"
location that means the least amount of traveling for the majority of
folks. If the classiccmp communities center of mass is in Texas, then I
think it should be in Texas. If it's in Santa Fe, then so be it. I
guess there could be some other considerations (e.g. lots of high tech
companies in Austin that could contribute like Dell, IBM, TI, etc), then
there's always the Goodwill Computer Museum to certainly tip the scales
in Austin's favour :)
