<div dir="ltr">Jon,<div><br></div><div>I think the Foundation staff were very very wary of extending the PTG or doing dual sites simultaneously due to not saving a thing logistically. Yes, it would conceivably save travel for folks that need to go to two separate events (as would the other colo options on the table) but not saving a thing logistically over two separate events as we have now. A six or seven day sprint/thing/ptg would also mean encroaching on one or both weekends (above and beyond travel dates) and that may really limit venue choices as private parties (weddings, etc) tend to book those locales on weekends.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 10:06 AM, Jonathan Proulx <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jon@csail.mit.edu" target="_blank">jon@csail.mit.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">:On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 9:15 AM, Chris Morgan <<a href="mailto:mihalis68@gmail.com">mihalis68@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Downside I see is that makes scheduling constraints pretty tight<br>
either for having two sponsorslocation available in a coordinated time<br>

Those are my thoughts, not sure if the amount to an opinion.<br>
